A Song of Praise

A Song of Praise

I thank Thee, dear Lord, I thank Thee,
For all Thou hasst given to me;
For love and home and tender care
And all that makes each day so fair.

I thank Thee for Thy beauties rare
Spread round about me ev'rywhere;
For singing birds and grass and trees,
For sky and clouds and gentle breeze.

I thank Thee more, for children's love;
for pow'r to turn their thoughts above.
For gift of love to teach and train;
May Thy Word taught, not be in vain.

I thank Thee for the Bible dear,
So full of comfort, love and cheer;
By night and day it is my stay,
It guides me o'er life's changing way.

I thank Thee for Thy patience sweet;
For bringing back my wayward feet,
For courage and for counsel giv'n,
To guide me on the road to heav'n.

I praise Thee for affliction's rod
That drew my soul so close to God;
For comfort and communion sweet
That's found alone, at Jesus' feet.
