We thank Thee, then, O Father, for all things bright and good,
The seed time and the harvest, our life, our health, and food;
Accept the gifts we offer, for all Thy love imparts,
But what Thou most desirest, our humble, thankful hearts.
All good gifts around us are sent from Heaven above. Then thank the Lord, O thank the Lord for all his love.
