"for trials and for life"

My God, I bless you in your great good works,

For your gifts, your marvels, and all your kindnesses,

For the treasures of your love, peace, and hope

That shed trustfulness upon my days of trial.

For the immense blue sky and the soft breeze

And the radiant sun that makes the flowers bloom

Lord, I bless you for trials and for life.
