Litany of Thanksgiving
Three part women, men, and congregation - accompanied by keyboard, handbells, and various percussion instruments. A great piece for a festival Thanksgiving service and fairly easy to put together. Martha has quite a gift for creating fresh and innovative pieces for worship and your congregation will love this. The CONGREGATION REFRAIN is located in the EXTRAS (ZIP) file.
Let us give thanks to God our Father for all his gifts so freely bestowed upon us.
For the beauty and wonder of your creation, in earth and sky and sea.
We thank you, Lord.
For all that is gracious in the lives of men and women, revealing the image of Christ,
For our daily food and drink, our homes and families, and our friends,
We thank you, Lord.
For minds to think, and hearts to love, and hands to serve,
For health and strength to work, and leisure to rest and play,
We thank you, Lord.
For the brave and courageous, who are patient in suffering and faithful in adversity,
For all valiant seekers after truth, liberty, and justice,
We thank you, Lord.
For the communion of saints, in all times and places,
Above all, we give you thanks for the great mercies and promises given to us in Christ Jesus our Lord;
to him be praise and glory, with you, O Father, and the Holy Spirit, now and for ever. Amen.
