Didache 10

Doctrine of the Apostles

After being satisfied, give thanks thus:

2We give thanks to Thee, holy Father, for Thy holy name, which Thou didst make to dwell in our hearts, and for the knowledge and faith and immortality which Thou didst make known to us through Jesus Thy Servant. To Thee be glory forever.

3Thou, Lord Almighty, didst create all things for Thy name's sake; Thou didst give food and drink to men for enjoyment, that they might give thanks to Thee.

4But to us Thou didst freely give spiritual food and drink and eternal life through Thy Servant.

5Before all things we give thanks to Thee because Thou art mighty. To Thee be glory forever.

6Remember, Lord, Thy Church, to deliver it from all evil and to perfect it in Thy love.

7And gather it from the four winds, the sanctified, into Thy kingdom which Thou hast prepared for it. For Thine is the power and the glory forever.

8Let grace come, and let this world pass away. Hosanna to the Son of David! If anyone is holy, let him come; if anyone is not, let him repent. Maranatha! Amen.

9But permit the prophets to give thanks as much as they wish.
