We Thank Thee, Lord

Topics: classic

We thank Thee, Lord,     That of Thy tender grace,     In our distress     Thou hast not left us wholly comfortless.     We thank Thee, Lord,     That of Thy wondrous might,     Into our night     Thou hast sent down the glory of the Light.     We thank Thee, Lord,     That all Thy wondrous ways,     Through all our days,     Are Wisdom, Right, and Ceaseless Tenderness.
