Prayer by John Baillie, 1886-1960

I praise thee for the life that stirs within me;
I praise thee for the bright and beautiful world in to which I go;
I praise thee for earth and sea and sky,
For scudding cloud and singing bird;
I praise thee for the work thou has given me to do;
I praise thee for all that thou has given me to fill my leisure hours;
I praise thee for my friends;
I praise thee for music and books and good company
And all pure pleasures.
