Author: Adelaide A. Procter Hymnal: The Hymnal of The Evangelical United Brethren Church #19 (1957) Meter: 8.4.8.4.8.4 Scripture: Colossians 2:6-7 First Line: My God, I thank Thee, who hast made Lyrics: 1 My God, I thank Thee, who hast made
The earth so bright;
So full of splendor and of joy,
Beauty and light;
So many glorious things are here,
Noble and right.
2 I thank Thee, too, that Thou hast made
Joy to abound;
So many gentle thoughts and deeds
Circling us round,
That in the darkest spot of earth
Some love is found.
3 I thank Thee, Lord, that Thou hast kept
The best in store;
We have enough, yet not too much
To long for more;
A yearning for a deeper peace
Not known before.
4 I thank Thee, Lord, that here our souls,
Though amply blest,
Can never find, although they seek,
A perfect rest;
Nor ever shall, until they lean
On Jesus' breast.
Amen. Topics: Worship Adoration and Praise Tune Title: WENTWORTH
