I thank Thee, Lord, for life:
For Thou hast made
and dowered me
With gifts of hearing,
sight and speech,
With mind alert,
and will that’s free:
Guard all from harm,
I Thee beseech.
I thank Thee, Lord, for health:
For day by day the joy of life
Runs through my veins
with keen delight,
And I am glad amid the strife;
Keep my thoughts pure,
guide me aright.
I thank Thee, Lord, for strength:
For as years pass, a fuller sense
Of power to dare and do is mine;
In active limb and muscle tense
I feel my strength: let it be Thine.
I thank Thee, Lord, for home:
Dear gift of Thine,
where constant thought
Of parents’ love forestalls my need
Where care for
others’ weal is taught
And I am saved
from self and greed.
I thank Thee, Lord, for hope:
What yet shall be I may not know;
The unseen days will changes bring,
But through them
all hope’s star shall glow,
And I shall have my song to sing.
