Gift Day, or Stewardship Sunday — Thanksgiving (2)
Adapted from John DonneAccept, O Lord God, our Father, the spiritual sacrifices which we offer to thee; this, of praise and thanksgiving, for thy great mercies already afforded to us; and this, of prayer, for the continuance and enlargement of them; and this, of the love of our hearts, as the only gift thou dost ask or desire; and all these, through the all-holy and atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ thy Son our Saviour.
