- 23 -
Thanksgiving for Petitions Granted
Deacon:
Giving thanks with fear and trembling, as
unprofitable servants, unto Thy loving--kindness, O Lord
our Savior and Master, for Thy benefits which Thou hast
poured out abundantly on Thy servants, we fall down in
worship and offer a doxology unto Thee as God, and
fervently cry aloud to Thee: Deliver Thou Thy servants from
all misfortune, and, as Thou art merciful, always fulfill the
desires of us all unto good, we diligently pray Thee, hearken
and have mercy.
People: Lord, have mercy
Thrice.
Deacon:
In that Thou now hast mercifully hearkened unto the
prayers of Thy servants, O Lord, and hast manifested upon
us the tender compassion of Thy love for mankind, so also,
in time to come, disdaining us not, do Thou fulfill, unto Thy
glory, all good desires of Thy faithful, and show unto all of
us Thine abundant mercy, disregarding all our iniquities, we
pray the, hearken and have mercy.
People: Lord, have mercy
Thrice.
