1.
We thank you, Father for all blessings,
Which have come from your hand,
Earth and heaven, rain and sunshine,
Nought without your command,
For life itself and strength to labour,
And reward for work done,
Joys and sorrows, pain and pleasure,
Tune to share with someone.
Refrain:
Your mercy, Lord, now give us anew,
O help us never to offend you.
And grant us even one request more:
A spirit which will praise and adore.
2.
For change of seasons ever varied.
We would render our praise
Hope in planting, joy in budding,
Harvest in its own phase,
Our toil to challenge, gifts of leisure,
With these we are endued.
Day to labour, night to slumber,
Daily strength is renewed.
[Refrain].
3.
Rejoice and praise God without ceasing,
Wife and husband, brothers, sisters,
Parents and a young son,
For heavenly love which binds together,
All the clans of mankind.
Where we differ give us wisdom,
Deeper oneness to find.
[Refrain].
4.
With hearts uplifted in thanksgiving,
For the grace you bestow,
Thoughts to ponder, love and laughter,
Songs to set us aglow
For sights which gladden,
Sounds which gladden,
Keen delight to the ear,
Golden sunsets, tow’ring forests,
All around us so near.
[Refrain].
5.
Let ev’ry tongue now join the chorus,
For the gifts without pride,
Christ the Saviour loosed our fetters,
Set us free from death’s vice.
Our sins forgiven, free to serve him,
And our neighbour beside,
Make us grateful, ever eager,
In your love to abide.
[Refrain].
We Thank You, Father For All Blessings Lyrics
