We Thank Thee

 

We thank Thee, Lord,
That of Thy tender grace,
In our distress
Thou hast not left us

wholly comfortless.

We thank Thee, Lord,
That of Thy wondrous might,
Into our night
Thou hast sent down

the glory of the Light.

We thank Thee, Lord,
That all Thy wondrous ways,
Through all our days,
Are wisdom, right,

and ceaseless tenderness.

 

~ John Oxenham
