A Prayer of Thanksgiving

A Prayer of Thanksgiving

by Robert Louis Stevenson

Lord, behold our family here assembled.

We thank thee

For this place in which we dwell;

For the peace accorded us this day,

For the hope with which we expect tomorrow;

For the health, the work, the food

And the bright skies that make our lives delightful,

For our friends in all parts of the earth and our friendly helpers . . .

Let peace abound in our small company.

Happy Thanksgiving!
