Haggadah 14-15
14. Hallel – Praise the LORD
Leader:
“Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done. I am the Alpha and Omega, the First and Last, the Beginning and the End.
“Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
“I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the offspring of David, and the Bright Morning Star.”
The Spirit and bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!”
Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life…
He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.”
Revelation 22.12-21
People:
Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.
Leader:
The Grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s people!
People:
Amen.
(and then, singing Song #6. I Exalt Thee – Psalm 97:9*)
For Thou, O Lord, art high above all the earth;
Thou art exalted far above all gods.
For Thou, O Lord, art high above all the earth;
Thou art exalted far above all gods.
I exalt Thee!
I exalt Thee!
I exalt Thee, O Lord! (Repeat chorus)
We exalt Thee!
We exalt Thee!
We exalt Thee, O Lord! (Repeat chorus)

(or as an alternate “Immanuel”†)
Verse 1
A sign shall be given; a virgin will conceive;
A human baby bearing Undiminished Deity.
The glory of the nations; a light for all to see;
That hope for all who will embrace His warm reality.
Chorus
Immanuel, our God is with us.
And if God is with us, who could stand against us?
Our God is with us, Immanuel.
Verse 2
For all those who live in the shadow of death a glorious light has dawned.
For all those who stumble in the darkness, behold your light has come.
Chorus
Verse 3
So what will be your answer? Will you hear the call?
Of Him who did not spare His Son, But gave him for us all?
On earth there is no power; there is no depth or height that could ever separate us
From the love of God in Christ.
Chorus

May the thoughts of our minds and the meditations of our hearts be always acceptable in your sight, O Lord.

Amen.
Leader:
Our Seder is complete. We have done all the things we were supposed to do. May we be free to enjoy a Seder like this one again – someday in the New Jerusalem!
People: (singing Song #7. “Hineh mah tov” – Psalm 133:1*)
Hineh mah tov uma nai im, shevet achim gam yachad!
Hineh mah tov uma nai im, shevet achim gam yachad!

(or as an alternate “You Shall Go Out With Joy” – Isaiah 55:12†)
You shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace.
The mountains and the hills shall break forth before you.
There’ll be shouts of joy, and all the trees of the field
shall clap, shall clap their hands.
And all the trees of the field shall clap their hands,
All the trees of the field shall clap their hands (Repeat)
As you go out in joy!
