1 Thanks be to God for the clear morning light,
And for the clouds that tinge the sky;
Thanks be to God for His care through the night,
And for the birds that sing and fly.
Refrain:
Thanks be to God,
Thanks be to God, thanks be to God;
Thanks be to God for the sunshine today,
And for the sunshine in our hearts.
2 Thanks be to God for the air that we breathe,
And for the shelter He provides;
Thanks be to God for our raiment and food,
And for a faith that still abides. [Refrain]
3 Thanks be to God for our health and our strength,
And for the feet that run His race;
Thanks be to God for the hands that can work,
And for a soul that trusts His grace. [Refrain]
4 Thanks be to God for the gift of His Son,
And for His willingness to die;
Thanks be to god for the things He has done,
And for our mansion in the sky.
