In its adventures, risks and prizes; in the strength of the soul that overcomes all dangers:
We rejoice in thanksgiving.
In tasks that are hard; in work well done; in the skill of our hands; in experience, judgement, decision:
We rejoice in thanksgiving.
In knowledge; in joining fact to fact; in seeking truth in its beauty:
We rejoice in thanksgiving.
In the faces of those we love; in eyes that look kindly upon us, even when we fail; in those with whom we are at rest:
We rejoice in thanksgiving.
In the unexpected strength that comes to us in hours of weakness and despair; in hopes and fears that turn to triumph:
We rejoice in thanksgiving.
And now we think of of colleagues, friends and family who we know and those we do not know in a short silence, giving thanks for them.
