<h2><SPAN name="page102"></SPAN><span class="pagenum"></span>THANK GOD FOR LIFE</h2>
<p class="poetry">Thank God for life, in such an age as this,<br/>
Rich with the promises of better things.<br/>
Thank God for being part of this great nation’s heart,<br/>
Whose strong pulsations are not ruled by kings.</p>
<p class="poetry">Our thanks for fearless and protesting
speech<br/>
When cloven hoofs show ’neath the robes of
state.<br/>
For us no servile song of ‘Kings can do no wrong.’<br/>
Not royal birth, but worth, makes rulers great.</p>
<p class="poetry">Thank God for peace within our border lands,<br/>
And for the love of peace within each soul.<br/>
Who thinks on peace has wrought, mosaic-squares of thought<br/>
In the foundation of our future goal.</p>
<p class="poetry"><SPAN name="page103"></SPAN><span class="pagenum">p.
103</span>Our thanks for love, and knowledge of love’s
laws.<br/>
Love is a greater power than vested might.<br/>
Love is the central source of all enduring force.<br/>
Love is the law that sets the whole world right.</p>
<p class="poetry">Our thanks for that increasing torch of
light<br/>
The tireless hand of science holds abroad.<br/>
And may its growing blaze shine on all hidden ways<br/>
Till man beholds the silhouette of God.</p>
