Grateful hearts all gathered
In honor of this day
To pray for peace and caring
We join hands as we say

Thank you for the blessings
That we have all received
Our heads all bowed in silence
Our thoughts of love perceived

For those who are not with us
For those in life we share
We thank God for our bounty
For the love that's always there

Food to fill the table
Peace to fill the soul
Hearts that are so bountiful
With words that will console

These our special blessings
We offer on this day
Love and peace with kindness
Within our hearts we pray.
