For all that God in mercy sends, For health and children, home and friends, For comforts in the time of need, For every kindly word and deed, For happy talks and holy thoughts,. For guidance in our daily walk, In everything give thanks! For beauty in this world of ours, For verdant grass and lovely flowers, For song of birds, for hum of bees, For the refreshing summer breeze, For hill and plain, for stream and wood, For the great ocean's mighty flood, In everything give thanks! For the sweet sleep which comes with night, For the returning morning light, For the bright sun that shines on high, For the stars glittering in the sky, For these and everything we see, O Lord, our hearts we lift to Thee, In everything give thanks!
