Grace

Dear God,
thank you for all that is good,
for our creation and for our humanity,
for the gifts of life and of one another,
for your love which is unbounded and eternal.
for the food before us,
the family and friends beside us
and the love between us.
Amen.

Psalm 67

  1. Be gracious to us O God and bless us:
    and make the light of your face to shine upon us,
  2. that your ways may be known upon earth:
    your saving power among all nations.
  3. Let the peoples praise you O God:
    let all the peoples praise you.
  4. Let the nations be glad, and sing for joy:
    for you judge the peoples righteously,
    and guide the nations on earth.
  5. Let the peoples praise you O God:
    let all the peoples praise you.
  6. The earth has yielded its harvest:
    and you our God will bless us.
  7. Your blessing O God be upon us:
    and let all the ends of the world revere you.

Collect

Eternal Spirit, living God,
in whom we live and move and have our being,
all that we are, have been, and shall be is known to you,
to the very secret of our hearts
and all that rises to trouble us.
Living flame burn into us,
cleansing wind, blow through us,
fountain of water, well up within us,
that we may love and praise in deed and in truth.
Amen.
