And praise and worship belong to him.
To God be glory in his Church
For ever and ever!

Amen!

Thanks for a beautiful day: On a beautiful day,

We praise you and give you glory
For the wonderful things you do for us;
For life and health,

for this splendid day.

For these reasons, we pray as Jesus taught us:

Our Father… Recite the ‘Our Father’ here.
