For common gifts we bless Thee, Lord,
The hearing ear, the eye to see,
Beauty for ever round us poured
In sweet and varied ministry.
We bless Thee for the wholesome air,
For showers that fall and suns that warm,
For darkness, and the truce to care
Sleep brings with many a soothing charm.
For gentle courtesies of life,
For dear communion, friend with friend,
Those hours with sacred meaning rife
When love looks to no earthly end.
We yield Thee praise for sovereign power
That steadies us o'er gulfs of pain ;
Shall we forget Thee in the hour
That leads us back to Thee again?
Let not our gratitude delay
Till good withheld constrains the prayer ;
Give clearer vision, that we may
Hold common blessings as if rare.
