for all the blessings of the year

for all the blessings of the year,
for all the friends we hold so dear,
for peace on earth, both far and near,
we thank thee, lord.

for life and health, those common things,
which every day and hour brings,
for home, where our affection clings,
we thank thee, lord.

for love of thine, which never tires,
which all our better thought inspires,
and warms our lives with heavenly fires,
we thank thee, lord.
