In Everything Give Thanks

Verse 1

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.

Verse 2

I praise Thee for the desert road, And for the river-side; For all thy goodness hath bestowed, And all Thy grace denied.

Verse 3

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.

Verse 4

I thank Thee for the wing of love, Which stirred my worldly nest; And for the stormy clouds which drove Me, trembling, to Thy breast.

Verse 5

I bless Thee for the glad increase, And for the waning joy; And for this strange, this settled peace, Which nothing can destroy.
