Thanksgiving to Christ
Saint Anselm Of Canterbury
O Lord Jesus Christ, our Redeemer, our Salvation:
We praise Thee and we give Thee thanks!
And though we be unworthy of Thy gifts,
and though we cannot offer unto Thee a fitting devotion,
yet let Thy loving kindness supply for our weakness.
Before Thee, O Lord our God, all our desires are known,
and whatsoever our heart rightly wills is a result of Thy grace.
Grant that we may attain a genuine love of Thee.
Let not Thy grace be unfruitful in us, Lord!
Perfect that which Thou hast begun!
Give that which Thou hast made us to long for.
Convert our tepidity to fervent love of Thee,
for the glory of Thy holy Name.
Amen.
