Generous God, everything
you created is good,
and all may feast on the
abundance of your house;
you give them drink from
the river of your delights.
You are ready to be
sought out, but we do not ask;
you call to us over and
over, but we do not reply.
We do not give back what
belongs to you--
the grateful acceptance
of your gifts.
