A THANKSGIVING
I thank thee for my life, dear Lord,
For all the earthly blessings given,
Beyond all else for treasures stored
From moth and rust fore'er in heaven;
  My heart a melody doth sing,
  And o'er it reigns my Saviour King,
  To whose dear cross, I, trustful, cling.

O Lord, again thy name I praise,
That thou didst leave thy gift of peace
My saddened soul in darkened days
It doth from doubt and fear release;
  I thank thee for the strength divine,
  By which my hand I clasp in thine,
  And know, for aye, thy love is mine.
