giving thanks



For the beauty of the earth,
For the glory of the skies,

For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies.



For the beauty of each hour,
Of the day and of the night.
Hill and vale, and tree and flower
Sun and moon, and stars of light.




For the joy of human love,
Brother, sister, parent, child,
For all gentle thoughts and mild.
Friends on earth and friends above,



For each perfect gift of Thine,

To our race so freely given,
Graces human and divine,
Flowers of earth and buds of Heaven.

Lord of all, to Thee we raise,
This our hymn of grateful praise!
