EN 563 Lord, We Thank Thee for the Pleasure

Ps.16.11

Versi Version 1

1

Lord, we thank Thee for the pleasure

That our happy lifetime gives,

For the boundless worth and treasure

Of a soul that ever lives;

Mind that looks before and after,

Lifting eyes to things above;

Human tears, and human laughter,

And the depths of human love.

2

For the thrill, the leap, the gladness

Of our pulses flowing free;

E’en for every touch of sadness

That may bring us nearer Thee;

But, above all other kindness,

Thine unutterable love,

Which, to heal our sin and blindness,

Sent Thy dear Son from above.

3

Teach us so our days to number

That we may be early wise;

Dreamy mist, or cloud, or slumber,

Never dull our heav’nward eyes.

Hearty be our work and willing,

As to Thee, and not to men;

For we know our soul’s fulfilling

Is in Heav’n, and not ’til then.
