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.
