(one verse introduction)

Thankful for the morning light
shining over earth and sea;
thankful for the sky so bright,
Creator, God, to you.
To you with all our hearts we pray,
now at the dawning of the day;
we know you have us in your care
and you will hear our prayer.

Thankful for each friend so dear,
whether they are proud or meek;
God, we ask that you will hear--
your holy face we seek.
To you our earliest thoughts are giv'n;
like incense may they rise to heav'n;
and from you now a blessing bear
in answer to our prayer.

Precious is the heart of love;
may, at length, such hearts be ours;
God, please send down from above
your love and truth divine.
And may they cleanse our willing souls
of earthly ills and make them whole;
for Christ did come to share our toil
and will not spurn our prayers.
