Thankfulness.

Topics: classic

I thank Thee, Lord,                  For every joyous hour                  That has been mine!         For every strengthening and helpful word,         For every tender sound that I have heard,                  I thank Thee, Lord!                  I thank Thee, Lord,                  For work and weariness                  That have been mine!         For patience toward one groping toward the light,         For mid-day burden and for rest of night,                  I thank Thee, Lord.
