(Painting: "The Holy Trinity," by El Greco, 1577)
We yield thee thanks,
we yield thee exceeding thanks, O Lord our God, us touching all things, and for
all things, through all things, and in all things; for that thou hast sheltered
us, succored us, kept us, and brought us to this hour. If we have at all sinned
against thee, in thought or word or deed, do thou, O Lover of men, vouchsafe to
overlook it; and forsake not us, O God, who put our trust in thee, nor lead us
into temptation; but deliver us from the evil one, and from his works, through
Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
