THANKSGIVING HYMN.

We thank Thee, o Father, for all that is
bright
The CLEAN Of the day, and the stars of the
night;
The flowers of our youth and the fruits of
our prime
And blessings that march down the path
way of time.
We thank Thee, Father, for all that is
drear-
The sob of the tempest, the flow of the
tear
For never in blindness and never in vain,
Thy mercy permitted sorrow or pain.
We than Thee, o Father, for song and for
feast
The harvest that glowed and the wealth
that increased;
For never blessing encompassed earth's
child,
But Thou in Thy mercy looked downward
and smiled 4
We thank Thee o Father of all, for the
power
OF aiding each other in lifes darkest
hour;
The generous heart and the bountlful
hand,
And all the soul help that sad souls under
stand.
We thank Thee, o Father for days yet to
be
For hopes that our future will call us TO
Thee
That all our Eternity FORM through Thy
love,
