A prayer from the Lutheran Treasury’s historical collection.
Historical edition. Historical claims and instructions are preserved as historical context.
ALMIGHTY, Eternal and beneficent God, I give unto Thee hearty thanks and praise for Thy most holy aid and assistance shown me this day, for without Thee I surely could have done nothing, so all praise properly belong to Thee. And I pray Thee, deign to be pleased with my work, and have it tend to the welfare, in body and soul, of myself and neighbors; through Jesus Christ, our Lord, true God, who liveth and reigneth to all eternity, with Thee and the Holy Ghost. Amen.
