Thanksgiving

We thank Thee, Father, Lord of all,For blessings sent before we call,For Life and Love that cannot cease,For strength and rest and joyous peace,For health and hope and better cheer,For knowing all is Thine, and here.

My Prayer

O Make my life a light that glowsMore bright from day to day;That those who toil in lonelinessMay look and find Thy way!

From Church

"Forgive ... as we forgive"

When in my prayerForgiveness I implore from God on high,Then do I dareMy own forgiving set to measure by?

Angels

It may be they come in the morning,It may be they come in the night,It may be they come at the hour,Or come with the waning light;It may be they come when we 're watching,It may be they come while we sleep;But they come, oh, they come from the Father,Who ever His vigil doth keep!
