Sheet music
- 1For the summer’s glowing pageant,For September’s sparkling days,For October’s cloak of crimson,We uplift our hymn of praise.Now the autumn’s tranquil harvestsWith abundance spread our board,And the blessed feast draws nearerOf the Advent of our Lord.
- 2Thanks we give, O God, for childhood,For its tender trust and dream;Thanks for youth’s exultant vision,Lighted by life’s golden gleam;Thanks for manhood, long enduringUnder cloud and under sun,Strong to suffer, swift to succor,Steadfast till the day is done.
- 3Lord, we thank Thee for our country,For her length and breadth and scope,For her roots in right and justice,For her heritage of hope,For her wealth in peoples welded,Homes we cherish, laws that bind.Guard, O Lord, her faith and freedom!Let our land bless all mankind!Amen.
