We give Thee thanks, O God, for all Thy bounties, undeserved and
unearned; for the increase Thou dost send us while the stars are
shining; for Thy gracious thirty-fold and sixty-fold beyond what we have
sown. Every morning Thou leavest gifts upon our doorstep and dost
depart unthanked. But this day we remember, and we bow our heads to
render unto Thee our humble and our hearty thanks for all that Thou hast
given us while we slept. Amen.
