With praise and thanksgiving to God ever living
The tasks of our everyday life we will face.
Our faith ever sharing, in love ever caring,
Embracing his children of each tribe and race.
With your feast you feed us,
With your light now lead us;
Unite us as one in this life that we share.
Then may all the living with praise and Thanksgiving
Give honor to Christ and His name that we bear.
-- Verse 2 of "Sent Forth by God's Blessing" as taken from the Lutheran Worship hymnal
