LET US GIVE THANKS.

By Robert M. Offord

Let us give thanks! To praise the Lord is meet; His streams of love and mercy ceaseless flow. Unto his courts O come, with willing feet, Your fervent hearts with gratitude aglow.

Let us give thanks! There have been clouded days, And days of gloom, that hid him from our eyes; But grief, at times, doth call for loudest praise, And sorrows oft are blessings in disguise.

Let us give thanks! for winter's storms no less Than summer's glow, or autumn's fruitful tide. From one dear hand they come, and come to bless; Though seasons change, love's purposes abide.

Let us give thanks! Nor forward look nor back Need serve to stay a single strain of praise. Our Shepherd God, no good thing can we lack, We shall have cause to bless him all our days. —Robert M. Offord.
