1 For tender mercies new each day,
For guidance all along life’s way,
For goodness I can ne’er repay,
I thank Thee, heav’nly Father!
For all Thy constant, loving care,
For needed grace, for answered pray’r,
In threat’ning danger, hidden snare,
I thank Thee, heav’nly Father!

2 For sunsets that in splendor die,
For all that here delights mine eye
In plain and mountain, sea and sky,
I thank Thee, heav’nly Father!
For true and faithful friends I know,
For home, where love-fires brightly glow,
For all that hallows life below,
I thank Thee, heav’nly Father!

3 For truth and promise richly stored
For me within Thy holy Word,
For light and comfort they afford,
I thank Thee, heav’nly Father!
For shelter when the storm was wild,
For patience t’ward Thy erring child,
When I was yet unreconciled,
I thank Thee, heav’nly Father!

4 And for Thy love that freely gave
Thy only Son, my soul to save,
To shed a light beyond the grave,
I thank Thee, heav’nly Father!
For pow’r to triumph o’er my foes,
For peace that like a river flows,
For endless life when life shall close,
I thank Thee, heav’nly Father!
