This is a responsive prayer (i.e., the father begins and the family joins with the bold response)

Let us give thanks to God our Father for all his gifts so freely bestowed upon us.

For the beauty and wonder of your creation, in earth and sky and sea.

We thank thee, Lord.

For all that is gracious in the lives of men and women, revealing the image of Christ,

We thank thee, Lord.

For our daily food and drink, our homes and families, and our friends,

We thank thee, Lord.

For minds to think, and hearts to love, and hands to serve,

We thank thee, Lord.

For health and strength to work, and leisure to rest and play,

We thank thee, Lord.

For the brave and courageous, who are patient in suffering and faithful in adversity,

We thank thee, Lord.

For all valiant seekers after truth, liberty, and justice,

We thank thee, Lord.

For the communion of saints, in all times and places,

We thank thee, Lord.

Above all, we give thee thanks for the great mercies and promises given to us in Christ Jesus our Lord;

To him be praise and glory,

With thee, O Father, and the Holy Spirit,

Now and for ever. Amen.
