I THANK THEE

Dear God, I thank thee for the dawn
For eyes that I may see
The beauty of its rising sun
As it sheds its light on me.

I thank thee for the warmth it gives
That helps the flowers to grow
The green grass and the blooming shrubs
And brooks through meadows flow.

I thank thee for the noon day
When the sun is high above
As it shines in all its glory
It reminds me of thy love.

I thank thee for the twilight
When the sun sinks in the west
The peace and quiet that calms my soul
As I settle down to rest
