O Thou whose per­fect good­ness crowns
With peace and joy this sac­red day,
Our hearts are glad for all the years
Thy love has kept us in Thy way.

For com­mon tasks of help and cheer,
For qui­et hours of thought and pray­er,
For mo­ments when we seemed to feel
The breath of a di­vin­er air.

For mu­tu­al love and trust that keep
Unchanged through all the chang­ing time,
For friends with­in the veil who thrill
Our spir­its with a hope sub­lime.

For this, and more than words can say,
We praise and bless Thy ho­ly name.
Come life or death, enough to know
That Thou art ev­er­more the same.
