OUR Father, from thee come all good and perfect rifts
Each day we pray for "daily bread," and thou dost supply
all our needs according to thy riches in glory by Christ
Jesus. We thank thee for the numberless mercies of
Ike. x< riends, health, food, shelter—all are received
from thee Accept our song of thanksgiving which rises
10m deeply thankful hearts. May the renewed mem-
ories of the thanksgiving season lead us to give rou lives
to thee with a richer sense of consecration than we have
hitherto known. Not alone content to speak our thanks
on this one day, may prayer and song and life proclaim
our gratitude every day of the swiftly passing year
Amen. * ^ %
