Giving Thanks for all Our Gifts

For the beauty of the earth,

For the glory of the skies

For the love which from our birth

Over and around us lies

Lord of all to You we raise

This our gift of grateful praise.

For the joy of human love,

brother, sister, parent child

Friends on earth and

Friends above

For all gentle thoughts and mild.

This our gift of grateful praise
