We give you thanks upon thanks,

O Lord our God,

Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,

by all means, at all times, in all places.

For you have sheltered, assisted,

supported, and led us on

through the past times of our lives,

and brought us to this hour.

O good and loving,

grant that we may pass this holy day,

and all the times of our lives, without sin,

with all joy, health, salvation,

sanctification, and fear of you.

O Lord God, drive away from us

and from your holy Christian and apostolic Church

all envy, all fear, all temptation,

all the working of Satan,

and all conspiracy of wicked men.

Supply us with things good and profitable.

In whatever ways we have sinned against you,

in word, deed, or thought,

pass over in your love and goodness.

Do not forsake us, O God,

for we hope in you.

Lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from the evil one

and from his works;

by the grace, compassion, and goodness

of your only Son. AMEN
