i thank thee god, that i have lived - emma topping lyrics

i thank thee god, that i have lived
in this great world and known its many joys:
the songs of birds, the strongest sweet scent of hay
and cooling breezes in the secret dusk;
the flaming sunsets at the close of day
hills and the lovely, heather*covered moors;
music at night, and the moonlight on the sea
the beat of waves upon the rocky shore
and wild white spray, flung high in ecstasy;
the faithful eyes of dogs, and treasured books
the love of kin and fellowship of friends
and all that makes life dеar and beautiful

i thank thee too, that there has comе to me
a little sorrow and sometimes defeat
a little heartache and the loneliness
that comes with parting and the words ‘good*bye’;
dawn breaking after weary hours of pain
when i discovered that night’s gloom must yield
and morning light break through to me again
because of these and other blessings poured
unasked upon my wondering head
because i know that there is yet to come
an even richer and more glorious life
and most of all, because thine only son
once sacrificed life’s loveliness for me
i thank thee, god, that i have lived
