Thanksgiving

By T. E. Morgensen

Behold what God hath wrought! Let's count His blessings, brought To us, within our reach, from day to day. Perhaps disguised they came; They're blessings just the same, All sent from God in His good time and way.

Things may not always please; In flowery paths of ease The saints of God have very seldom trod. The things which seem to mar Our pleasures, often are The greatest blessings, sent to us from God.

Could we but understand, And see the loving hand Of God, the giver, we should thankful be, And praise Him more and more, For blessings yet in store For us, in time and through eternity.

Receive, O God, we pray, Our thanks and praise to-day For all the blessings Thou hast kindly given. Grant that we faithfully May serve and honor Thee Through life, and meet to praise Thee more in heaven.
