  Not because Thou givest me Life from care and sorrow free Do I thank Thee, Lord, to-day; But because in life’s dark hour, Thou hast given peace and power To sustain me on the way. Not for gift of wealth or fame Do I praise Thy kingly name Kneeling now with grateful heart; But for home, for friends, and health,— Greater gifts than fame or wealth, Blessings of my life a part. Not because the earth is bright With a wealth of joy and light Do I thank Thee, Lord Divine; But because in Home above Life eternal speaks Thy love And the hope of Heaven is mine. |
