Author: Mary Kay Beall, 1943- Hymnal: Worship and Rejoice #720 (2003) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Scripture: Psalm 8 First Line: I thank you, Lord, for each new day Lyrics: 1 I thank you, Lord, for each new day,
for meadows white with dew,
for the sun's warm hand upon the earth,
for skies of endless blue,
for fruit and flower, for lamb and leaf,
for every bird that sings,
with grateful heart I thank you, Lord,
for all those simple things.
2 I thank you, Lord, for wind and rain
and for the silver moon,
for every daisy's lifted face,
for every lovely tune,
for winter's white, for autumn's gold,
for harvest and for home,
with grateful heart I thank you, Lord,
for each good gift I own.
3 I thank you, Lord, for hand and heart
to offer up your praise.
I thank you, Lord, for tongue to speak
of all your loving ways.
For health and strength, for work and play,
for loved ones far and near,
with grateful heart I thank you, Lord,
for all that I hold dear. Topics: Labor & Leisure Languages: English Tune Title: GRATUS
