We Bless Thee Lord For All

We Bless Thee, Lord, For All This Common Life
Can Give Of Rest And Joy Amidst Its Strife;
For Earth And Trees And Seas And Clouds And Springs;
For Work, And All The Lessons That It Brings.

For Pisgah-Gleams Of Newer, Fairer Truth,
Which Ever Ripening Still Renews Our Youth;
The Fellowship With Noble Souls And Wise,
Whose Hearts Beat Time To Music Of The Skies.

For Each Achievement Human Toil Can Reach;
For All The Patriots Win, And Poets Teach;
For The Old Light That Gleams On History’s Page,
For The New Hope That Shines On Each New Age.
