December 1 - Hymn of Thanksgiving

Psalm 118


Give thanks to the Lord, who is good,

whose love endures forever.

Better to take refuge in the Lord

than to put one's trust in mortals.

Better to take refuge in the Lord

than to put one's trust in princes.



Open the gates of victory;

I will enter and thank the Lord.

This is the Lord's own gate,

where the victors enter.

I thank you for you have answered me;

you have been my savior.



Lord, grant salvation!

Lord, grant good fortune!

Blessed is he

who comes in the name of the Lord.

We bless you from the Lord's house.

The Lord is God and has given us light.

Join in procession with leafy branches

up to the horns of the altar.



Reflection



Do I give praise God and give Him proper thanks for shining His light on me so brightly?
