Gratitude

By Mary D. Brine

DEAR LORD, we thank thee for the joy of living day by day, That we may see thy glorious works which lie along our way — The flowers blooming sweet and fair, the fields and meadows green, The fruitful hills, the mountains clothed in distant silvery sheen. We wake each morn refreshed, and glad that we are safe and well! What wonder that our hearts with love and grateful praises swell? We thank thee for the air we breathe, the things we see, the sounds Of nature’s sweetest harmonies, the beauty which surrounds Our earthly scenes; the sunshine bright, the blue of thy fair skies; And for the glad, contented thoughts which in our hearts arise. We joy in living! may it be that while we live, we live to thee!
— Mary D. Brine.
