Author: H. Glen Lanier Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #605 (1995) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 For each day of life we thank you,
God, the giver of all days;
and with hearts filled with thanksgiving,
we would serve you, now, always.
2 As in days of youthful vigor,
may we in all later years
know the joys of useful purpose.
Free us from our anxious fears.
3 Give us dreams and inner vision
of a new world to be gained,
where all people live together,
by each other's love sustained.
4 May the insights from living
be a light upon the way,
guiding us, and those to follow,
to a brighter, better day. Topics: Life of Discipleship Stewardship and Service; God's Church Life of Discipleship: Stewardship and Service; Aging; Dignity and Equality; Gratitude; Service; Stewardship Languages: English Tune Title: CHARLESTOWN
