"We Thank Thee"

For flowers that bloom about our feet;
For tender grass, so fresh and sweet;
For all things fair we hear or see
Father in Heaven, we thank Thee!

For blue of stream, for blue of sky;
For pleasant shade of branches high;
For fragrant air and cooling breeze;
For beauty of the blowing trees-
Father in Heaven, we thank Thee!

For mother-love, for father care;
For brothers strong and sisters fair;
For love at home and school each day;
for guidance lest we go astray-
Father in Heaven, we thank Thee!

For Thy dear, everlasting arms,
That bear us o'er all ills and harms;
For blessed words of long ago,
That help us now Thy will to know-
Father in Heaven, we thank Thee!

Ralph Waldo Emerson
