46. MY God, I Thank Thee, Who Hast Made / Thanksgiving and Rejoicing, Worship / By bestguyblogs Verse 1My God, I thank Thee who hast madeThe earth so bright,So full of splendor and of joy,Beauty and light;So many glorious things are here,Noble and right. Verse 2I thank Thee, too, that Thou hast madeJoy to abound;So many gentle thoughts and deedsCircling us round,That in the darkest spot of earthSome love is found. Verse 3I thank Thee more that all our joyIs touched with pain;That shadows fall on brightest hours,That thorns remain;So that earth’s bliss may be our guide,And not our chain. Verse 4For Thou who knowest, Lord, how soonOur weak heart clings,Hast given us joys, tender and true,Yet all with wings,So that we see, gleaming on high,Diviner things. Verse 5I thank thee, Lord, that Thou hast KeptThe best in store;I have enough, yet not too much,To long for more;A yearning for a deeper peaceNot known before Verse 6I thank ‘Thee, Lord, that here our soulsThough amply blestCan never find, although they seekA perfect rest-Nor ever shall, until they leanOn Jesus’ breast.
