Thanksgiving Now
Thank you dear God for happy fare;
Thank you dear Lord for pleasant share.
Thank you for joy, for happy news;
For fond employ, for sanguine views.
Thank you for grace, for poignant zest;
For light to pace, for certain quest.
Thank you for calm, for subtle truth;
For sensuous balm, for brilliant proof.
Thank you for choice, for heart that knows;
For steady poise, for mind that shows.
Thank you for prize, for all things nice;
For sweet surprise, for fragrant spice.
Thank you for play, for easy fun;
For lavish stay, for wit and pun.
Thank you dear God for all that comes;
Thank you dear Lord for love that sums.
