Author: George H. Binkley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I thank Thee, Father, that I live
To see this day of Thine;
This day of rest, this day of peace,
Proclaims Thy love divine.
2 Today, I thank thee, most of all,
For Thy best gift of love;
The gift of Christ, whose saving grace
We all, today, may prove.
3 And when the evening shades of life
Bring slumber and repose,
Oh, may I see Thee face to face,
Where Sabbaths never close! Used With Tune: MILWAUKEE Text Sources: The Voice of Praise (Pittsburgh, James Robison, 1873)
