 Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. Thanks and praise. It is right and good and joyful thing always and everywhere to give you thanks, almighty God, creator of heaven and earth, where you formed us in your image and breathed into us the breath of life. When we turned away and our love failed, your love remained steadfast. And so with your people on earth and all the company of heaven, we praise your name and join their unending hymn,
