“We gather together to ask the Lord’s blessing;
He chastens and hastens His will to make known;
The wicked oppressing now cease from distressing;
Sing praises to His Name; He forgets not His own.”

“Beside us to guide us, our God with us joining,
Ordaining, maintaining His kingdom divine;
So from the beginning the fight we were winning;
Thou, Lord, were at our side, all glory be Thine!”

“We all do extol Thee, Thou Leader triumphant,
And pray that Thou still our Defender will be;
Let Thy congregation escape tribulation;
Thy Name be ever praised! O Lord, make us free!”

Best, Jay

  Yes, I had a wonderful day with friends at a luncheon, hosted by The American Club of the Riviera. At the elegant Negresco Hotel. I now know people. It was great!

This is excerpted from the Litany of Thanksgiving, Book of Common Prayer 836

Let us give thanks to God . . .
For the beauty and wonder of your creation, in earth and sky and sea R
. . .
For minds to think, and hearts to love, and hands to serve, R
For health and strength to work, and leisure to rest and play, R
. . .
For all valiant seekers after truth, liberty and justice,

R We thank you Lord.
