Each is blessed with the offering of the Fruit.
Hearty harvest of each will fill the Soul,
And banish all hungering there.
Let each one take his fill of these, the God-given Fruits of the Spirit,
For the wonder and sweetness they bring to Life:

the profound warmth of Love,
which is deep and tender devotion,
the buoyant uplifting of Joy,
which is expression of glad delight,
the precious balm of Peacefulness,
which is time in quiet tranquility,
the constant refuge of Patience,
which is steadfast endurance without accusation,
the cherished treasure of Kindness,
which is acts of benevolence and honest good will,
the prized bounty of Goodness,
which is generosity in all things just and pure,
the welcome strength of Faithfulness,
which is true allegiance borne of loyalty,
the calm protection of Gentleness,
which is soft and careful consideration,
and the trusted resolve of Self-Control,
which is gracious restraint of dread deed or desire.

All these gifts bless our Life and Time together.
Let us ever give our heart-felt thanks,
And praise the giver of the gifts,
Our God, Our Creator, Our Hope.
