WE THANK THEE

We thank Thee, Lord, for many things
However commonplace they be;
For food and raiment; shelter;
warmth;
We know all blessings come from
Thee.
We thank Thee, Lord, for bounteous
crops
We garnered from earth's plentitude;
For golden store of wheat and corn,-
The basis of nations food.
We thank Thee, Lord, for eyes to see
The wonders which Thy hands have
made;
A sunset or hazy dawn;
The autumn colors now displayed.
We thank Thee, Lord, for loved ones
dear
Who gather round the warm fireside,
And with discord and fear shut out,
In peace and harmony abide.
We thank Thee, Lord, for faithful
friends,
Who lend hand along the way;
For all the favors we receive
Accept our thanks, dear Lord, today.
