Thanks to God for my Re­deem­er,
Thanks for all Thou dost pro­vide!
Thanks for times now but a me­mo­ry,
Thanks for Je­sus by my side!
Thanks for plea­sant, bal­my spring­time,
Thanks for dark and stor­my fall!
Thanks for tears by now for­got­ten,
Thanks for peace with­in my soul!

Thanks for pray­ers that Thou hast an­swered,
Thanks for what Thou dost deny!
Thanks for storms that I have wea­thered,
Thanks for all Thou dost sup­ply!
Thanks for pain, and thanks for plea­sure,
Thanks for com­fort in des­pair!
Thanks for grace that none can mea­sure,
Thanks for love be­yond com­pare!

Thanks for ros­es by the way­side,
Thanks for thorns their stems con­tain!
Thanks for home and thanks for fire­side,
Thanks for hope, that sweet re­frain!
Thanks for joy and thanks for sor­row,
Thanks for heav’n­ly peace with Thee!
Thanks for hope in the to­mor­row,
Thanks through all eter­ni­ty!
