In Everything Give Thanks

“In Everything Give Thanks” 

For life, for health, for strength, for love, 

Forth-flowing from Thy spring above, 

For preservation from all ill, 

Of mind and body, heart and will; 

Father, my God, I thank Thee! 

For mercies new each passing day; 

For light and guidance on my way; 

For help and counsel in each need; 

For conscience and for spirit freed; 

Father, my God, I thank Thee! 

For home and loved ones, oh, so dear; 

For Thy dear presence always near; 

For ties of friendship, tried and true; 

For blessings past, and blessings new; 

Father, my God, I thank Thee! 

For fellowship with Thee, my God; 

For Jesus, Man, yet very God; 

Thy spirit’s ministry in power; 

Defense in every trying hour; 

Father, my God, I thank Thee! 

And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, 

do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, 

giving thanks to God the Father through him. (Col 3: 17)
