You see the beauty of your years,
I hope. With all your children's love
This day must bring you happy tears
And tranquil thoughts that joyful prove.

I hope, with all your children's love,
There is a refuge all your own,
And tranquil thoughts that joyful prove
Beyond the family you call home.

There is a refuge all your own
Amid the crowds of time and place,
Beyond the family you call home,
Where you are in the grip of grace.

Amid the crowds of time and place,
This day must bring you happy tears.
Where you are in the grip of grace,
You see the beauty of your years.
