For the Household
O ALMIGHTY God, we thank Thee for all Thy blessings and all Thy mercies which Thou in Thy love hast bestowed upon us. Do Thou continue Thy care for us. Do Thou, Who always hast loved us, make us also to love Thee. Help us to live as Thy obedient and dutiful children. Let us never forget Who Thou art, and Whose we are, and grant to every member of this house strength and courage for the battle of life; for the sake of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
