HEARTFELT THANKFULNESS

From the August 1887 issue of The Christian Science Journal


I thank Thee, oh God, for the glorious light
That has shown us the Truth and dispelled the dark night;
I thank Thee for Jesus, his words I would cite:
"Your nets you must cast on the side of the right."

I thank Thee for her who divided the sea,
And showed me the way to be happy and free;
For I know that the way she is leading must be
The way I must follow, to come unto Thee.

I thank thee for wisdom, that cometh from Thee;
In the footsteps of Jesus, the way I can see;
I thank Thee for Life, Love, and Truth; for these three
Teach of Heaven, and the glory that 's waiting for me.
