For thy wondrous gift of life,
Crowned with blessings rare;
For the sunshine and the rain,
Tokens of thy care;
Father of love, we thank Thee.
For our homes where those we love
Teach us from thy word,
For the privilege to go
To thy temples, Lord;
Father above, we thank Thee;
Father of love, we thank Thee.
For our land where freedom reigns,
Sacred to our trust;
For our youth who give their all,
But not for greed or lust;
Father above, we thank Thee;
Father of love, we thank Thee.
Through whose cross we gain
Fellowship with Thee, our God,
Thus with Thee to reign;
Father above, we thank Thee;
Father of love, we thank Thee.
