O gracious Father,
who openest thine hand and fillest all things living with plenteousness:
Bless the lands and waters,
and multiply the harvests of the world;
let thy Spirit go forth,
that it may renew the face of the earth;
show thy loving-kindness,
that our land may give her increase;
and save us from selfish use of what thou givest,
that women and men everywhere may give thee thanks;
through Christ our Lord.
Amen. |
