Blessed Lord, the only living and true God,
\nthe Creator and Preserver of all things,
\nWe live by you;
\nand our whole dependence is upon you,
\nfor all the good that we either have or hope for.
\nWe now desire to bless your name for those mercies,
\nwhich in so large a measure
\nyou have generously given us.<\/p>\n
Worthy are you, O Lord our God,
\nto receive all honor and glory,
\nall thanks and praise,
\nand love and obedience,
\nas in the courts of heaven,
\nso in all the assemblies of your servants upon earth;
\nfor you are great, and you do wondrous things;
\nyou are God alone.<\/p>\n
