We Thank Thee
For flowers that bloom about our feet,
Father we thank Thee.
For tender grass so fresh, so sweet,
Father we thank Thee.
For song of bird and hum of bee,
For all things fair we hear and see,
Father we thank Thee.
For blue of stream and blue of sky,
Father we thank Thee.
For pleasant shade of branches high,
Father we thank Thee.
For fragrant air and cooling breeze,
For beauty of the blooming trees,
Father we thank Thee.
For this new morning with its light,
Father we thank Thee.
For rest of shelter of the night,
Father we thank Thee.
For health and food, for love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends,
Father in heaven, we thank Thee.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson ~ (1803 - 1882)
