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.
