You are my God, I give you thanks and praise.

I give thanks to you, O Lord my God,
with all my heart,
– for great is your mercy towards me.

You are my God, and I will give you thanks;
my God, I give praise to you.
– For great is your mercy towards me.

~Psalm 86:12-13; 118:28

(as Responsory)

May I never forget, Lord, your joy that you have given me.

With joy and gladness we cry out to you, Lord and ask you: open our hearts to sing your praises and announce your goodness and truth.

Ant. Let us go into God's presence singing for joy.
