Almighty God, Father of all mercies,

                By your grace we, your servants give you humble and heartfelt thanks for all your goodness and lovingkindness to us, and to all people. We bless you for our creation, preservation and all the blessings of this life; but above all, for your great love in the redemption of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ; for the means of grace, and for the hope of glory. And we ask you for deep awareness of your mercies that our hearts may be truly thankful and give you praise, not only with our lips, but in our lives, by giving up ourselves to your service and by walking with you in holiness and righteousness all our days; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit be all honor and glory forever.  Amen.
