Help me, dear Father, all the day
To see Thy love in everything,
In flower-hued colors of the dawn,
And happy bird upon the wing;
To see Thy love in golden light
Of sunshine touching hill and field,
And in the beauty of the world
That by its shining is revealed;
Thy love to see in dimming light
Of twilight shadows softly gray,
And in the shining stars above,
Each sending down its golden ray!
Help me to see Thy tender love
In kindly faces that I meet,
And in the joyous little ones
Who pass me by on dancing feet;
And thus, in all things sweet and fair,
To see Thy goodness and Thy love,
The blessings from Thine own dear hand
That fall so gently from above.
