"Not To Us"

For all the blessings from our hands
The timely spoken words
The lifting of the widow's face
The gift given in secret

For the heroes of America and wherever else,
for the babies carried in the arms of firemen

For the little kindness actually given on earth without hidden motive

For the people of all times and places who have truly sought God

For the children who are kept from harm and the wives who are treated
correctly

For the fair master; even more the benevolent

For any peace anywhere

For any good that has ever been done by man,
or happened upon him;
Not to us, Lord, not to us,
but to thy name give the glory.
