For All the Love

1 For all the love that from our earliest days
has gladdened life and guarded all our ways,
we bring You, Lord, our song of grateful praise:
Alleluia!

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:
Alleluia!

3 For all the joy that childhood's days have brought,
for healthful lives and purity of thought,
for life's deep meaning to our spirits taught:
Alleluia!

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,
Alleluia!

5 For Christ our Lord, our Savior and our friend,
upon whose love and truth our souls depend,
our hope, our strength, our joy that knows no end:
Alleluia!
