Canticle Tobit 13:2,4,6-8

Blessed be God, who lives for ever.

God punishes, he also has mercy,
he leads men to the depths of the grave,
he restores men from the great destruction.
No man can escape his hand.

Blessed be God, who lives for ever.

It is he who scattered us among the nations.
Among them must we show forth our greatness
and exalt him in the presence of all living;
for he is our Lord and our God,
our Father and our God for ever.

Blessed be God, who lives for ever.

Now think what he has done for you,
give thanks to him with all your voice.
Give praise to the Lord for his justice
and exalt the king of all ages.

Blessed be God, who lives for ever.

In this land of exile I will thank him,
and show forth his greatness and might
to the race of sinful men.

Blessed be God, who lives for ever.

Sinners, come back to him,
do what is right before him.
Who knows but he will receive you with pity?

Blessed be God, who lives for ever.
