I was reading the Book of Daniel, and I was at the part where Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego are thrown into the fire, and are protected by the angel. I was overjoyed when I saw the prayer that they all were saying. It was a litany. No joke. So I took this, and I put it into an actual litany format, and included another prayer by Daniel

Tell me what you think. I don’t know if anyone else has done this. If so, then please tell me.

Litany to God the Creator

All you who worship him, bless the God of gods, praise him and give him thanks,
R. For his love is everlasting.

Let us Pray. Dan 2:20-23
May the name of God be blessed forever and ever,
since wisdom and power are his alone. His, to control
the procession of times and seasons, to make and unmake
kings, to confer wisdom on the wise, and knowledge on
those with wit to discern; his, to uncover the depths and
mysteries, to know what lies in darkness; and light dwells
with him. To you, God of my fathers, I give thanks and praise.

Amen.
 
That’s beautifully done! May I copy it out for my own use?
 
Actually, this prayer is used in the LOTH. It’s divided between the first and second Sundays, during Morning Prayer. I agree that it’s very beautiful - one of my favorites. 🙂

It isn’t mine. But seeing as how it’s over 2000 years old, I do believe it’s in the Public Domain by now. I don’t know if you can use it for public worship. You would need to check with your priest about that.

Student09: Did they use it as a litany as well? Or do they just have it as a prayer?

It’s not exactly arranged as a litany. It is a canticle and is said as one would say a responsorial psalm, with the antiphon repeated at certain points in the recitation.

Yes, we have a prayer like that, although not in a litany form as you have it:
BLESSED ARE YOU O LORD, OUR GOD, PRAISEWORTHY AND EXALTED ABOVE ALL FOREVER.
BLESSED IS YOUR HOLY AND GLORIOUS NAME, PRAISEWORTHY AND EXALTED ABOVE ALL FOR ALL AGES.
BLESSED ARE YOU IN THE TEMPLE OF YOUR HOLY GLORY, PRAISEWORTHY AND GLORIOUS ABOVE ALL FOREVER.
BLESSED ARE YOU IN THE THRONE OF YOUR KINGDOM, PRAISEWORTHY AND EXALTED ABOVE ALL FOREVER.
BLESSED ARE YOU IN THE FIRMAMENT OF HEAVEN, PRAISEWORTHY AND EXALTED ABOVE ALL FOREVER.
But you have a very beautiful litany which prayerful Christians can use. God bless you.

I now have proof that God has a sense of humor.

Guess what the canticle at Noon prayer in the LOTH was today?
