O Trinity of Love, You have been with us at the world’s beginning,

Be with us till the world’s end.

You have been with us at our life’s shaping,

Be with us at our life’s end.

You have been with us at the sun’s rising,

Be with us till the day’s end. Amen

Prayers

O God, for your love for us, warm and brooding, which has brought us to birth and opened our eyes to the wonder and beauty of creation,

We give you thanks.

For your love for us, wild and freeing, which has awakened us to the energy of creation: to the sap that flows, the blood that pulses, the heart that sings.

We give you thanks.

For your love for us, compassionate and patient, which has carried us through our pain, wept beside us in our sin, and waited with us in our confusion.

We give you thanks.

For your love for us, strong and challenging, which has called us to risk for you, asked for the best in us, and shown us how to serve.

We give you thanks.
