We thank Thee
for the beauty, Lord,
Of all the world around,
The glories of the changing scenes
Which everywhere abound.
We thank Thee
for the colour, Lord,
The shades of flower and tree,
The break of morn, the golden corn,
The sunsets that we see.
We thank Thee
for the grandeur, Lord,
The torrent’s mighty roar,
The mountains of majestic height,
The waves upon the shore.
We thank Thee
for the silence, Lord,
The stillness and the peace,
For these and all Thy gifts to man
Our praise shall never cease.
(E. V.)
