Grateful for each hand we hold
Gathered 'round this table
From far and near, we travel home
Blessed that we are able

Grateful for this sheltered place
With light in every window
Saying: Welcome, welcome
Share this feast
Come in away from sorrow

Father, mother, daughter, son
Neighbor, friend and friendless
All together, everyone
In the gift of loving kindness

Grateful for what's understood
And all that is forgiven
We try so hard to be good
To lead a life worth living

Father, mother, daughter, son
Neighbor, friend, and friendless
All together, everyone
Let grateful days be endless

Grateful for each hand we hold
Gathered 'round this table
