WE THANK THEE, LORD

by: Lois Tiffany

We thank Thee, Lord, for waiting years
Though every hope be touched with fears,
Though in the past lie broken dreams,
Yet in the future, now, it seems
As if a Hand will point the way
Our feet should travel day by day

We thank Thee, Lord, for love today,
For willing hands, for hearts that pray,
And though it be a thorny road
O'er which we trudge with heavy load,
Yet by the roadside we may find
The handshake of a comrade kind

We thank Thee, Lord, for beating rain
Through which the sun shines clear again.
We thank Thee for the blinding heat
Of desert, over which our feet
Must go, and though our eyes be wet,
And though our hearts be burdened yet

We thank Thee, Lord, for Jesus Christ
Who, through Thy love, was sacrificed;
Help us to know that He will share
The heavy burdens we may bear;
And as we labor here, to pray
Our lips ay swiftly learn to say

"We thank Thee, Lord."
