Blessings for Thanksgiving

Here's a closing blessing from Rev. Thomas Weitzel which would work well at the close of a Thanksgiving service (or other times of worship).

Thanksgiving Blessing

May the Lord of all creation
shower his blessings and favor upon you.
Amen

May the Lord of the harvest
grace your Thanksgiving table with his presence
and fill your loved ones with peace.
Amen

May the Lord of salvation
guide you all your days
until you come into the joys of his eternal kingdom.
Amen

And may almighty God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
bless you now and forever.
Amen

— from A Service for the Eve of Thanksgiving written by the Rev. Thomas L. Weitzel, a pastor of the ELCA, and posted on Liturgy by TLW.
