O God Most High, it
is good to give you thanks
and to sing your
praises, to declare your steadfast
love in the morning and
your faithfulness by night.
Jesus called us to be
perfect, even as you are perfect.
We are not perfect, will
not be perfect, but we know
how we ought to live
and how to please you.
Pray help us do this
more and more,
until we have finished
the work
you have given us to
do.
