Not Only with our Lips, But in our Lives

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 bessech 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 ourselves to thy serice,

and by walking before thee in holiness

and righteousness all our days;

through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with thee

and the Holy Ghost, be all honour and glory, world without end.

Amen.
