For the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures for ever, and his faithfulness to all generations. Psalm 100:5
O Lord, our God, we give you glory singing our acclamation in loud voices to the extreme gratefulness and thankfulness overflowing from our hearts for your greatness and majesty, your graciousness and benevolence, your goodness and mercy, all of which are immeasurable and unsurpassed. We sing out our praises in joyful exultation and humble submission, meditating and contemplating your righteousness.
Lord God, our Father, we thank you for all the light you give us and for all your loving help in outward things as well. We come into your presence and ask you to give us your constant guidance for the path we must follow. Grant that what is of heaven may be revealed on earth, that we may rejoice in the good and beautiful things you give to all people. Father, free your people from their sin and darkness so that at last they recognize your glory. Strengthen our hope to attain this goal. Rule in the hearts of your people, that through them your glory may be proclaimed to all.
We acknowledge the high privilege we receive, by songs of praise on our lips and blessings in our sanctified hearts, eternally thankful to you, O Lord, for revealing the great truths of your kingdom to us, for adopting us to sonship and for provision of raising us to co-heirs of your kingdom by your infinite love and enduring mercy. You have given us unfailing promises which you bestow on all who believe in you as the One, True, Living God, who is, and ever will be, everlastingly, as we revel in the perfect attributes of our Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ Name. Amen
