For All His Blessings
For all His countless blessing and all His gifts oflove,
I owe all things that I possess To God, the Lord above.
For hope and inner courage when failure came my way A new found faith to carry on,
to face another day.
He made my life far brighter when it seemed so in vain.
He led me on to greater heights I strove and sought to gain.
Harold F. Mohn
And all these blessings shall come upon thee and overtake thee ifthou, hear the voice ofthe Lord thy God.
