How do I thank Thee for Thy wondrous ways,
For gifts of caring family and friends?
For random pleasures and eternal grace,
And bounties from Thy vault that never ends?
Thou gavest me the will to rise each morn,
To hail the sun, the welkin and the leas,
Thou leadeth me when I am all forlorn,
I hear Thy voice in whispers of the breeze.
There’s but one way I can repay my debt -
To share Thy light with all I meet and greet,
Imperfect as I am, in woe beset,
In blessings of Thy love I am complete.
I thank Thee Lord for all the joy I've known
I thank Thee Lord, with Thee I’m not alone.
