25 Nov “An Evening Prayer of Thanksgiving”
“Dear God, another day is done And I have seen the golden sun Swing in the arch from east to west And sink behind the pines to rest. I thank Thee that Thou gavest me The power of sight, that I may see The tinted glories of Thy skies, An earthly glimpse of Paradise: The power to hear the evening breeze Swelling in organ harmonies:The power to feel the tender grasp Of loving hands in friendship’s clasp: I thank Thee for these gifts to me, But one thing more I ask of Thee: From out they bounteous, gracious hand Give me the power to understand, To understand – to sympathize – To note the pain in others’ eyes; To have the power to rightly read The kindly motive of every deed. And this I humbly ask of Thee, Because I know Thou lovest me. Amen.” – Author Unknown
