The thank you glow

Representative Text

1 When I do a kindness to someone,
My Father in heav’n must know;
For in my heart, the deepest part,
He kindles a happy glow.

Refrain:
Thank you, thank you,
I know He whispers low;
For down within this heart of mine
He kindles His thank-you glow.

2 The glow lights the pathway to guide me,
And self unto me makes known;
I cannot know His thank-you glow
While living for self alone. [Refrain]

3 When He fills my life with His blessings,
With praises my heart o’erflows;
Oh, love of mine, in the Heart Divine,
Go kindle my thank-you glow. [Refrain]
