Addressing God as
Glory to God for all things.
These were, according to his biographer, the last words of Saint John Chrysostom, spoken in exile at Comana in 407. We may continue in our own words:
We thank TheeYou, O Lord our God, for all ThyYour benefits, known and unknown, manifest and hidden, that have come upon us, in word and in deed. We thank TheeYou for the joys and the sorrows of this day, for those we love, and for those who have wronged us. Glory to TheeYou for the light, glory to TheeYou for the night, glory to TheeYou for all things, unto the ages. Amen.
