Grateful for each hand we hold
|
Gathered round this table.
|
From far and near we travel home,
|
Blessed that we are able.
|
|
Grateful for this sheltered place
|
With light in every window,
|
Saying "welcome, welcome, share this feast
|
Come in away from sorrow."
|
|
Father, mother, daughter, son,
|
Neighbor, friend and friendless;
|
All together everyone in the gift of loving-kindness.
|
|
Grateful for what's understood,
|
And all that is forgiven;
|
We try so hard to be good,
|
To lead a life worth living.
|
|
Father, mother, daughter, son,
|
Neighbor, friend, and friendless;
|
All together everyone, let grateful days be endless.
|
|
Grateful for each hand we hold
|
Gathered round this table.
