Thousand blessings, mine each day; Could I count them, ‘course not, nay. From marvel that He gives each breath To deliverance from death. What, though, if I tried to list Every blessing that should sift From Almighty hands that heap Endless gifts upon this sheep. All the beauties that my eyes View on land and in the sky, Sounds that fill my listening ears And heart with loveliness that cheers. Bread that causes tongue to awe And give body strength to draw. Kindnesses I don’t deserve, Opportunities to serve. If I spent entire days Calling out to God my praise For each gift He gives to me There would be no time to squeeze One complaint into that scroll; Mercies round would roll and roll. I must not forget to thank Jesus for the cup He drank; Full of bitterness that was Gall my sinfulness had caused. When my thoughts on Him are stayed Foolish fretting melts away. While I mind His attributes, Meditating on his fruits, Goodness I cannot exhaust, Worldly gains to me are lost, Oh Lord help me meditate; And with praises decorate Father, Son, and Spirit One, Morn to night and eve to dawn.
