Our spirits in their human need;

We bless thee, Father, that we are!

We bless thee for our inward life;

For its immortal date decreeing;

For that which comprehendeth thee,

A spark of thy divinity,

Which is the being of our being!

We bless thee for this bounteous earth;

For its increase—for corn and wine;

For forest-oaks, for mountain-rills;
