 Dear Carl

 David's Offertory prayer in 1 Chronicles 29:14 immediately springs to mind.
 It is incorporated as an Offertory sentence in the CofE Alternative Service
 Book 1984, Holy Communion Rite A.

 In the LXX this reads:

 KAI TIS EIMI EGW, KAI TIS hO LOAS MOU hOTI ISCUSAMEN PROQUMHQHNAI SOI KATA
 TAUTA; *hOTI SA TA PANTA, KAI EK TWN SWN DEDWKAMEN SOI*.

 IMHO we need look no further than this for the origin of Chrysostom's
 liturgical text.
