Thank you for the joy of living.
And for the joy and love of giving.
Thank you for mercy and forgiving.

We give you thanks.

Thank you for the peace to which we aspire
And for the blessings daily, we acquire.
Thank you for each hope of that which we desire.

We give you thanks.

Thank you for friends who gather around us,
For all the beauty that surrounds us
And for the gifts that abound to us.

We give you thanks.

Make us grateful for each wilting flower,
Thankful for each day and hour,
For all that is sweet and all that is sour.

We give you thanks.

May we choose to view the glass
Half full until that time, alas
When all life's dark and fleeting moments pass.

We give you thanks.

And may we live amid the pace,
In every time and every place,
As a people full of grace.

We give you thanks.
