47. Thanksgiving when the Storm is over.

Almighty God, heavenly Father, Thou hast said: Call upon me in the day of

trouble, I will deliver thee and thou shalt glorify me: we praise and

thank Thee with our whole heart, that Thou hast, in mercy, heard our

prayer and caused the threatening storm to cease, without injury to body

or property. In this, Thou hast not dealt with us after our sins, nor

rewarded us according to our iniquities; but hast dealt with us as a

father with his children. Father of mercies, for the sake of Thine only

begotten Son, Jesus Christ, cause these Thy fearful warnings to move us

to constant amendment, that we may henceforth live in Thy fear and

prepare ourselves for the coming of Thy dear Son, that we may with joy go

forth to meet Him, and with shouts of joy enter heaven, in which dwelleth

righteousness, and possess it forever, even for ever and ever, through

Thy dear Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
