General Thanksgiving
ALMIGHTY God, Father of all mercies,
we your unworthy servants
give you humble and heartfelt thanks
for all your goodness and loving-kindness
to us and to all people.
We praise you for our creation, preservation,
and all the blessings of this life;
but above all for your measureless 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 pray, give us that due sense
of all your mercies,
that our hearts may be truly thankful,
and that we hold forth your praise,
not only with our lips, but also in our lives;
by giving up ourselves to your service,
and by walking before you
in holiness and righteousness all our days;
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit,
be all honour and glory, now and forever.
Amen.
