THANKFULNESS.

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.
