MY God, I tliank thee, who hast The earth so bright ; [made So full of splendour and of joy,

Beauty and light ; So many glorious things are here. Noble and right.

I thank thee too that thou hast made

Joy to abound ; So many gentle thoughts and deeds

Circling us round, That in the darkest spot of earth

Some love is found.

I thank thee more that all our joy

Is touched with pain ; That shadows fall on brightest hours;

That thorns remain ; So that earth's bliss may be our

And not our chain. [guide,

��For thou, who knowest, Lord, how Our weak heart clings, [soon

Hast given us joys, tender and true, Yet all with wings ;

So that we see, gleaming on high. Diviner things.

I thank thee. Lord, that thou hast The best in store ; [kept

We have enough, yet not too much To long for more :

A yearning for a deeper peace. Not known before.

I thank thee. Lord, that here our Though amply blest, [souls.

Can never find, although they seek, A perfect rest —

Nor ever shall, imtil they lean On Jesus' breast.
