Lyrics:

Thanks be for these, life's holy times,
moments of grief, days of delight;
triumph and failure intertwine,
shaping our vision of the right.

Thanks be for these, for birth and death;
life in between with meaning full;
holy becomes the quickened breath;
we celebrate life's interval.

Thanks be for these, ennobling art,
images welcome to our sight;
Music caressing ear and heart,
inviting us to loftier height.
