Offering Thanks to the Lord

                        Accept my thanks, Merciful Lord,
                           For shielding me oft and anon
                     From the harsh grips of certain death
                       That I may again sing your song,
                          That I may again take a breath
                               To chant your eternal glory
                         And inscribe your inspiring hymns
                              In the endless roll of history.

                          Accept my thanks, Almighty Lord,
                                For again according to me
                              A longer lease of life on board
                                That I gaze at your marvels,
                               A rainbow up high in the sky 
                             Or a shooting star that travels
                              Across the distant firmament
                            And then flits away like an angel.

                            My thanks to you, Bountiful Lord,
                                 For again showering on me
                              A longer life that I may afford
                            To contemplate at your wonders,
                             The golden sun rising at dawn,
                          The setting sun in a crimson sky
                        Or gentle waves crashing in the morn
                        Against reefs to form a milky stretch. 

                        Do accept my thanks, Supreme Lord,
                             For brightening the divine path
                              To reach your heavenly abode
                       Through liberation from the mortal chain,
                             To unite with the Divine Whole,
                              The vast infinity to attain,
                           To merge with the Absolute Soul
                                And eternal bliss to regain.

                          When the chimes of your divine bell
                         Will reach my humble and senile ears,
                              My soul will ever feel no pain
                               To shatter, without any fear,
                         The sturdy shackles of mortal chains 
                            In search for its fated destiny
                             Away from the earthly train 
                                To the divine eternity,
                         Further beyond the distant space.
