“Landing of the Pilgrims” – Stained Glass Windows in Pilgrims Hall
For our supply of daily bread,
By which we’ve been so duly fed;
For clothing meet the year round,
And homes where shelter we have found:
Our Father God we thank Thee.
For magazines and books to read,
And other things the mind may need;
For music’s gifts for our delight,
And all the beauties for our sight;
Our Father God we thank Thee.
For loved ones dear to human kind,
And blessings we in friendships find;
For nature’s children large and small,
For outdoor treasures enriching all;
Our Father God we thank Thee.
For blessings ours when we receive,
For blessings greater when we give;
For service sent when we had need,
For chance to serve by word and deed;
Our Father God we thank Thee.
For institutions of our land,
For public schools on every hand;
For churches free to serve our God,
And freedom greater than the rod;
Our Father God we thank Thee.
For a nation’s prayer that right decide,
For a nation’s prayer that love abide,
For a nation strong where freedom reigns,
For a nation armed where night remains;
Our Father God we thank Thee.
For a loving Christ who for us died,
For a present Christ now at our side,
For a life on earth with Jesus shared,
For a Father’s house for us prepared;
Our Father God we thank Thee.
