For all that is our life
We sing our thanks and praise;
For all life is a gift
Which we are called to use
To build the common good
And make our own days glad.
For needs which others serve,
For services we give,
For work and its rewards,
For hours of rest and love;
We come with praise and thanks
For all that is our life.
For sorrow we must bear,
For failures, pain, and loss,
For each new thing we learn,
For fearful hours that pass:
We come with praise and thanks
For all that is our life.
For all that is our life
We sing our thanks and praise;
For all life is a gift
Which we are called to use
To build the common good
And make our own days glad.
