O My God,

Who have created me

I thank You for it with all my heart.

O my God, Who bestowed on me the Christian faith

and adopted me as Your child on the day of my baptism,

I thank You for it with all my heart.

O my God, who have surrounded me

with so many means of salvation,

I thank You for it with all my heart.

O my God, who have given me

a wonderful angel to protect me,

I thank You for it with all my heart.

O my God, who have given me

a sound intelligence,

a judgment, a loving heart,

I thank You for it with all my heart.

O my God, who have given me eyes that see,

ears that hear, a tongue that speaks,

and limbs that move,

I thank You for it with all my heart.

O my God, who have created

the beautiful sun to give me light,

the waters to refresh me,

and the flowers to delight me with their fragrance,

I thank You for it with all my heart.

O my God, who make fruits and crops to ripen,

and increase the animals to nourish and clothe us,

I thank You for it with all my heart.

For all the benefits that You will give me

up to my death,

For the grace of final perseverance,

which I hope from Your mercy

through the merits of Jesus Christ,

For the infinite happiness,

with which You will crown me in heaven

as You have commanded me to hope,

I thank You for it with all my heart.
