L. O Lord, be gracious to us and bless us, C. And make your face to shine upon us. L. May your ways be known upon the earth, C. Your saving power among all peoples. All: Lord of the nations, guide our people by your Spirit to go forward in justice and freedom.

For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

Responsive Reading Thanksgiving for a Nation L. On July 4, 1776, our forefathers bravely advanced the cause of freedom and liberty by declaring this nation's independence and sovereignty and that all her citizens possessed the unalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness given by our Creator. It is appropriate therefore as we celebrate our nation's 234th birthday that we give thanks to that Creator for our liberties and pray for continued blessings upon our country, our government and our fellow citizens. L. The earth is the Lord's, C. And all who dwell in it. L. God is king over the nations: C. God sits on his holy throne. L. He rules by his might forever. C. His eyes keep watch on the nations. L. Let the nations be glad and sing for joy, C. For God judges the peoples with equity and guides the nations upon the earth.

*Where this mark appears, all who are able please stand to honor God. (Feel free to
stand or keep seated according to your own comfort needs.)

Thought for the Week

Love your country. Your country is the land where your parents sleep, where is spoken that language in which the chosen of your heart, blushing, whispered the first word of love; it is the home that God has given you that by striving to perfect yourselves therein you may prepare to ascend to him.
~Giuseppe Mazzini
