Leader: Let us give thanks to God for the land of our birth with all its
chartered liberties. For all the wonder of our country's story:
People: We give you thanks, O God.
Leader: For leaders in nation and state, and for those who in days past and
in these present times have labored for the commonwealth:
People: We give you thanks, O God.
Leader: For those who in all times and places have been true and brave,
and in the world’s common ways have lived upright lives and
ministered to their fellows:
People: We give you thanks, O God.
Leader: For those who served their country in its hour of need, and
especially for those who gave even their lives in that service:
People: We give you thanks, O God.
Leader: O almighty God and most merciful Father, as we remember these
your servants, remembering with gratitude their courage and
strength, we hold before you those who mourn them. Look upon
your bereaved servants with your mercy. As this day brings them
memories of those they have lost awhile, may it also bring your
consolation and the assurance that their loved ones are alive now
and forever in your living presence.
