Thanksgiving
Father of all we thank thee
now on bended knee
for all thy blessings rich
spread lavishly.
We thank thee for the sun
which daily shines
the soft wind in the pines
the restless sea which surges
all day long
and soothes our hearts
with its' sweet plaintive song.
We thank thee for the stars at night
that twinkle in the sky
the mountains old
whose fingers point to thee
to lift our hearts
set fettered spirits free.
We thank thee for the love
in all mens' hearts
which knowledge
of this sacrifice imparts.
We thank thee most
on bended knee
for thy great gift
of our mortality.
