O God, I Thank Thee for Each Sight

O God

I thank Thee for each sight

Of beau­ty that Thy hand doth give;

For sun­ny skies and air and light;

O God

I thank Thee that I live.

That life I con­se­crate to Thee

And ev­er as the day is born

On wings of joy my soul would flee

And thank Thee for ano­ther morn.

Another day to which to cast

Some si­lent deed of love abroad

That

great­en­ing as it jour­neys past

May do some ear­nest work for God.

Another day to do

to dare

To use anew my grow­ing strength

To arm my soul with faith and pray­er

And so reach Heav’n and Thee at last.
