| Text: | For Flowers That Bloom |

| Tune: | SACKETT |
| Composer: | David Hugh Jones |
1 For flowers that bloom about our feet;
For tender grass so fresh and sweet,
For song of bird and hum of bee;
For all things fair we hear and see,
Father in heaven,
Father in heaven, we thank thee.
2 For blue of stream and blue of sky;
For pleasant shade of branches high;
For fragrant air and cooling breeze,
For beauty of the blooming trees,
Father in heaven,
Father in heaven, we thank thee.
