440. For all the love

1 For all the love that from our earliest days
has gladdened life and brightened all our days,
we bring you, Lord, our song of grateful praise,
hallelujah!

2 For all the truth from wisdom's lighted page
undimmed and pure, that shines from age to age,
God's holy Word, our priceless heritage,
hallelujah!

3 For all the joy that childhood's days have brought,
the gifts of life, of sense and heart and thought,
of life's deep meaning to our spirits taught,
hallelujah!

4 For all the hope that sheds its glorious ray
along the dark and unknown future way,
and lights the path to God's eternal day,
hallelujah!

5 For all the strength that we have gained through prayer,
to face life's tasks, its eager quests to share,
till ampler powers fulfil its promise fair,
hallelujah!

6 For Christ the Lord, our Saviour and our friend,
upon whose love and truth our souls depend,
our hope, our strength, our joy that knows no end,
hallelujah!
