Each day I wake and thank the Lord
And pray we are of one accord
I beg we have but this defence
Our world is ripe with common sense.
Tis sad that we have yet to learn
Of all God’s blessings each may earn
It is not wishing makes it so
But how we act and think and grow.
If I should pass this way once more
And chance to knock upon the door
Perhaps you’ll welcome me because
It’s now we must serve common cause !
