Seeker Overlay ON
*
Both riches and honor come from thee ,
and thou rulest over all .
In thy hand are power and might ;
and in thy hand it is to make great and to give strength to all .
*
And now we thank thee ,
our God ,
and praise thy glorious name .
* "
But who am I ,
and what is my people ,
that we should be able thus to offer willingly ?
For all things come from thee ,
and of thy own have we given thee .
*
For we are strangers before thee ,
and sojourners ,
as all our fathers were ;
our days on the earth are like a shadow ,
and there is no abiding .
*
O LORD our God ,
all this abundance that we have provided for building thee a house for thy holy name comes from thy hand and is all thy own .
*
I know ,
my God ,
that thou triest the heart ,
and hast pleasure in uprightness ;
in the uprightness of my heart I have freely offered all these things ,
and now I have seen thy people ,
who are present here ,
offering freely and joyously to thee .
*
O LORD ,
the God of Abraham ,
Isaac ,
and Israel ,
our fathers ,
keep for ever such purposes and thoughts in the hearts of thy people ,
and direct their hearts toward thee .
