Thank you, Father,
For this day.
Thank you for the sun
And for the way
The wind moved
Through our lives today.

Thank you for the sea
And thank you for the rain,
The fishes and the hillside,
The bounty of your Earth
As laid before thee
Long ago and once again.

Thank you, Father,
For this hour,
For all who gathered
By your power.
And thank you for this gift,
This time so wonderful and gay.
Thank you so much
For today.
