and made us a kingdom,[a] priests[b](A) to his God and Father—to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.(B)

Look, he is coming with the clouds,(C)
and every eye will see him,
even those who pierced him.
And all the tribes[c] of the earth[d](D)
will mourn over him.[e][f] (E)
So it is to be. Amen.

“I am the Alpha and the Omega,”(F) says the Lord God, “the one who is, who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.”
