1. For peace and for plenty, for freedom, for rest,
For joy in the land, from the east to the west;
For the dear starry flag, with its red, white, and blue,
We thank thee from hearts that are tender and true;
We thank thee from hearts that are tender and true.
2. For sowing and reaping, for cold and for heat,
For the sweet of the flow’rs and the gold of the wheat;
For ships in the harbor, for sails on the sea,
O Father in heaven, our songs rise to thee;
O Father in heaven, our songs rise to thee.
3. For waking and sleeping, for blessings to be,
We children would offer our praises to thee;
For God is our Father and bends from above,
To keep the round world in the smile of his love;
To keep the round world in the smile of his love.
