A day of thanksgiving

Liturgical Color: White

Collect (H)

Almighty God, our heavenly Father, whose mercies are new unto us every morning, and who, though we have in no wise deserved Thy goodness, dost abundantly provide for all our wants of body and soul; Give us we pray Thee, Thy Holy Spirit, that we may heartily acknowledge Thy merciful goodness toward us, give thanks for all Thy benefits, and serve Thee in willing obedience; through Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with Thee and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen.

Introit (Psalm 150:6, 2, 1)

Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord: praise ye the Lord. Praise Him for His mighty acts: praise Him according to His excellent greatness. Praise ye the Lord; praise God in His sanctuary; praise Him in the firmament of His power.

Glory be to the Father …

Gradual (Psalm 145:15-16; 103:1)

The eyes of all wait upon Thee: and Thou givest them Their meat in due season. Thou openest Thine hand: and satisfiest the desire of every living thing. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name: Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits. Hallelujah!

Hallelujah (Psalm 119:124-125)

Hallelujah! O Lord, deal with Thy servant according unto Thy mercy and teach me Thy statutes. I am Thy servant, give me understanding: that I may know Thy testimonies. Hallelujah!
