Lord, we thank you 

for the goodness of our people 

and for the spirit of justice 

that fills this nation.


We thank you for the beauty and fullness of the 

land and the challenge of the cities.

We thank you for our work and our rest,  

for one another and for our homes.


We thank you, Lord:

Accept our thanksgiving on this day.

We pray and give thanks through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.
