A Prayer for Every Day - From Valley of Vision

O Lord and Maker of all Things

O Lord and Maker of all things, from whose creative power the first light came forth, who looked upon the world's first morning and saw that it was good, praise You for this light that now streams through my windows to rouse me to the life of another day.

     I praise You for the life that stirs within  me;
     I praise You for the bright and beautiful world into which I go;
     I praise You for earth and sea and sky, for scudding cloud and singing bird;
     I praise You for the work You have given me to do;
     I praise You for all that You have given me to fill my leisure hours;
     I praise You for my friends;
     I praise You for music and books and good company and all pure pleasures. 
                             AMEN.

Praise God from whom ALL blessings flow

Praise Him ye creatures here below

Praise Him above, ye heavenly host

Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost!
