We Thank Thee, Lord

Verse 1

We thank Thee, Lord, Thy paths of service lead To blazoned heights and down the slopes of need; They reach Thy throne, encompass land and sea, And he who journeys in them walks with Thee.

Verse 2

We've sought and found Thee in the secret place And marveled at the radiance of Thy face; But often in some far-off Galilee Beheld Thee fairer yet while serving Thee.

Verse 3

We've felt Thy touch in sorrow's darkened way Abound with love and solace for the day; And, 'neath the burdens there, Thy sovereignty Has held our hearts enthralled while serving Thee.

Verse 4

We've seen Thy glory like a mantle spread O'er hill and dale in saffron flame and red; But in the eyes of men, redeemed and free, A splendor greater yet while serving Thee.

Verse 5

Amen.
