Gratitude

A MIGHTY anthem, rising to
IA the skies,
Joined in on every hand
Where men work out the pur-
poses of life,
Resounds throughout the land.
We greet the bOundless store of
ripened fields,
The wealth of mill and mart,
But all too often naught but
these give out
Songs keynote to the heart.
EOR truest praise is in the
Il soul of prayer,
A hope OF heavens grace,
Continued love in which mere
worldly thought
Can have no foremost place.
So, while the organs swell and
voices rise
In music's varied tongue,
Thanks even truer may 60 up to
God
Unspoken ana unsung.
