O Thou, whose bounty fills my cup
With ev'ry blessing meet!
I give Thee thanks for ev'ry drop
The bitter and the sweet
I praise Thee for the desert road
And for the riverside
For all Thy goodness hath bestowed
And all Thy grace denied
I thank Thee for both smile and frown
And for the gain and loss
I praise Thee for the future crown
And for the present cross
| |
I thank Thee for the wing of Love
That stirred my worldly nest
And for the stormy clouds that drove
The flutterer to Thy breast
I bless Thee for the glad increase
And for the waning joy
And for this strange, this settled peace
Which nothing can destroy
|
