From the earliest remembrance of our childhood 
                                                     To the faintest memory of the aged, 
                                                        Our minds are filled with many 
                                                              Wonderful blessings. 

                                                    From the light of a beautiful sunrise 
                                                           To the star studded night, 
                                                         Our days are filled with many 
                                                              Wonderful blessings. 

                                                        From the works of our labor 
                                                            To the much needed rest, 
                                                        Our bodies are filled with many 
                                                              Wonderful blessings. 

                                                    From all of these, we can see how 
                                                     Gods' blessings work in you and me. 
                                                        But better still, is that one thing 
                                                        Of which the angels all do sing. 

                                                     A soul passing from life unto death, 
                                                  A soul leaving this world for eternal rest, 
                                                   A soul reunited with the Father ... Yes, 
                                               This is the greatest of all our many blessings.
