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!
