Let us thank God
for sharing his gifts of beauty with us.
{Moment of silence.]
All praise and thanks are yours, Lord our God,
maker of the universe and Father of us all.
We praise you and thank you
for letting artists see the beauty of your creation
and share it with us through works of art.
Bless + this N.,
and let it be a reminder to all who admire it
that you are our God and our Father.
Teach us to reflect your truth and your goodness
in our lives each day,
and so give you honour and glory.
Blessed are you, Lord our God,
for ever and ever.
Amen.
