The Skies and the Earth


 
 

The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof....Ps. 24:1
 

I  Thank Thee God!

I thank Thee God, Thou Father mine,
For all that Thou hast made;
For having sent down Thy dear Son,
Who succors, seeks, and saves!

I thank Thee God, Creator mine,
For all the lovely things;
Such as the bird in joyous flight,
Which makes one’s cares take wings!

For Autumn leaves in varied hues,
So pleasing to the eye;
And even in Winter’s stormy blasts,
When snow descends from the sky!

Especially, oh Thou Father mine,
For tender warmth of Spring,
When budding leaves and flowers in bloom,
Make saddened hearts to sing!

For Spring’s not only pleasing,
For seeing flowers in bloom;
But most of all symbolic be,
Of Christ, Who rose from the tomb!

And even in Summer, oft times hot,
Means walks along the shore;
Where seagulls in their glorious flight,
Can make the spirit soar!

But the most important thing of all,
My Father God above;
Is joy through which we scale the heights,
And depth of Thy great Love!
