Being Thankful

I am thankful for all things,
That God has given me,
For all the beautiful sights he sends
before my eyes to see.
I am thankful for his love,
And the hope of his glory.
Glory of the things up above,
As told in that grand old story.
I am thankful for His promise of eternal life,
There in that land of peace and rest,
Where there will be no more strife.
