With all its joys outnumbering far its sorrows, For all of earth's cime-tarnrshed tinsel. wealth, And with its chance to loue. live. work, and play, J' d ne'er exchange my good health's smallest part. And for the luring. beckoning tomorrows. I thank Thee, Lord, for Friends, trial-tested, /rue, I thank Thee for the home, sweet home 1hat's mine. Who fail me nor in times of strife and stress. Its fireside rest and dreams, the looed ones there, Oh, those big-hearted, faithful friends, true blue, The laughing eyes wherein soft love-lights shine, Who come each honest life to cheer and bless. The gleaming wonder-gold of silken hair. I thank Thee for a worth-while task and work, For all home's blessings, Lord, I thank Thee much Though it seem humble, difficult, obscure; A drowsy little fellow's peaceful sigh, And if 1 do my best, no duty shirk, A child's bright laughter, baby fingers' touch. OF good success and larger chance I'm sure. A wee tot's murmured prayer as night draws nigh. I thank Thee For a deep and settled joy. And for my natwe land I thank Thee. Lord And inward peace, ir,creasing with the years. The land l love, the wonderful, the free! Which daily cares and burdens can·t destroy; Mu native land, the honored and adored!
