A Heart of Thanksgiving

Thanks to God for my Redeemer,

Thanks for all You do provide,

Thanks for times now but a memory,

Thanks for Jesus by my side,

Thanks for pleasant, balmy springtime,

Thanks for dark and dreary fall,

Thanks for tears by  now forgotten,

Thanks for peace within my soul,

Thanks for prayers that You have answered.

Thanks for prayers You do deny,

Thanks for storms that I have weathered,

Thanks for pains, and thanks for pleasure,

Thanks for comfort in despair,

Thanks for grace that none can measure,

Thanks for love beyond compare,

Thanks for roses by the wayside,

Thanks for thorns their stems contain,

Thanks for home and thanks for fireside,

Thanks for hope, that sweet refrain,

Thanks for joy and thanks for sorrow,

Thanks for heavenly peace with Thee,

Thanks for hope in the tomorrow,

Thanks through all eternity.
