LORD: we have wished you good luck, ye that are of the house of the LORD.

27 God is the LORD, who hath showed us light : bind the sacrifice with cords, yea, even unto the horns of the altar.

28 Thou art my God, and I will thank thee : thou art my God, and I will praise thee.

29 O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is gracious : and his mercy endureth for ever.

Evening Prayer.

6 So shall I not be confounded: while I have respect unto all thy commandments.

7 I will thank thee with an unfeigned heart : when I shall have learned the judgments of thy righteousness.
