Let’s read together: We Thank Thee By Ralph Waldo Emerson

For flowers that bloom about our feet;
For tender grass so fresh, so sweet;
For song of bird and hum of bee;
For all things fair we hear or see,
Father in heaven, we thank Thee!

For blue of stream and blue of sky;
For pleasant shade of branches high;
For fragrant air and cooling breeze;
For beauty of the blooming trees,
Father in heaven, we thank Thee!

For mother-love, for father care;
For brothers strong and sisters fair;
For love at home and here each day;
For guidance lest we go astray,
Father in Heaven, we thank Thee!

For this new morning with its light;
For rest and shelter of the night;
For health and food, for love and friends;
For ev’ry thing His goodness sends,
Father in heaven, we thank Thee!
