Verse 1
What gift can we bring,
what present, what token?
What words can convey it,
the joy of this day?
When grateful we come,
remembering, rejoicing,
what song can we offer
in honor and praise?
Verse 2
Give thanks for the past,
for those who had vision,
who planted and watered
so dreams could come true.
Give thanks for the now,
for study, for worship,
for mission that bids us
turn prayer into deed.
Verse 3
Give thanks for tomorrow,
full of surprises,
for knowing whatever
tomorrow may bring,
the Word is our promise
always, forever;
we rest in God's keeping
and live in God's love.
Verse 4
This gift we now bring,
this present, this token,
these words can't convey it,
the joy of this day!
When grateful we come,
remembering, rejoicing,
this song we now offer
in honor and praise!
