LET us bless the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost:
Let us praise and exalt him for ever.
Then shall be said together:
BLESSING and honour and glory and power
be unto him that sitteth upon the throne
and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.
Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty:
Just and true are thy ways, thou King of Saints;
All glorious thy gifts, thou Spirit of life.
Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving
and honour and power and might
be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
O GIVE thanks unto the Lord, for he is gracious;
And his mercy endureth for ever.
Who hath loved us from all eternity;
For his mercy endureth for ever.
And remembered us when we were in trouble;
For his mercy endureth for ever.
Who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven;
For his mercy endureth for ever.
And was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary, and was made man;
For his mercy endureth for ever.
Who by his Cross and Passion hath redeemed the world;
For his mercy endureth for ever.
And hath washed us from our sins in his own blood;
For his mercy endureth for ever.
Who on the third day rose from the dead;
For his mercy endureth for ever.
And hath given us the victory;
For his mercy endureth for ever.
Who ascended up on high;
For his mercy endureth for ever.
And opened wide for us the everlasting doors;
For his mercy endureth for ever.
Who sitteth on the right hand of God;
For his mercy endureth for ever.
And ever liveth to make intercession for us;
For his mercy endureth for ever.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be world without end. Amen.
FOR the gift of his Spirit;
Blessed be Christ.
For the Catholic Church;
Blessed be Christ.
For the means of grace;
Blessed be Christ.
For the hope of glory;
Blessed be Christ.
For the triumphs of his gospel;
Blessed be Christ.
For the lives of his saints;
Blessed be Christ.
In joy and in sorrow;
Blessed be Christ.
In life and in death;
Blessed be Christ.
Now and unto the end of the ages;
Blessed be Christ.
Here may be added thanksgivings for particular mercies, and at their end all shall say together the General Thanksgiving.
ALMIGHTY God, Father of all mercies,
we thine unworthy servants
do give thee most humble and hearty thanks
for all thy goodness and loving-kindness
to us and to all men.
We bless thee for our creation, preservation,
and all the blessings of this life;
but above all for thine inestimable love
in the redemption of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ;
for the means of grace, and for the hope of glory.
And, we beseech thee,
give us that due sense of all thy mercies,
that our hearts may be unfeignedly thankful;
and that we show forth thy praise,
not only with our lips, but in our lives,
by giving up our selves to thy service,
and by walking before thee
in holiness and righteousness all our days;
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
to whom, with thee and the Holy Spirit,
be all honor and glory, world without end. Amen.
BLESSING and honour and thanksgiving and praise more than we can utter, more than we can conceive, be unto thee, O most adorable Trinity, + Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, by all angels, all men, all creatures, for ever and ever. Amen and Amen.
