Gratitude

Title
Gratitude
Description
Thou Bounteous Giver of all good,
From Thy unfailing hand,
We take with humble, grateful hearts,The blessings of the land.
Know'st every creature's need,
And for the good of man, dost blessThe sprinkling of the seed.
Our hearts are free from care;
No sound of war or tumult's rage,Brings dread dismay or fear.
For all life's pleasures past,
The gratitude of days gone byBrings sweet reward at last.
The future soon is here,
And o'er the grave of buried hours,We shed a parting tear.
And sing a cheerful song,
Let gratitude its echo be,And praise the strain prolong.
