111. Thanks to Thee

1 Thanks to Thee, Thou bounteous Giver,
For supplies of needful food,
Daily flowing like a river,
From the fount of every good.

Refrain:
Thanks to Thee, thanks to Thee,
Thanks to Thee, Thou bounteous Giver;
Thanks to Thee, thanks to Thee,
Flowing fount of every good.

2 Health and friendship, precious treasure,
From the Father’s gracious hand;
Home and plenty without measure;
Peace prevailing thro' the land. [Refrain]

3 But the blessed, priceless message,
Welcome gospel of Thy Son,
Most minutely, page and passage,
Shows us what Thy love hath done. [Refrain]

4 Bread of life O daily give us;
“Living water,” gifts of love;
Till at last Thou shalt receive us
To the better home above. [Refrain]
