How Sweet God’s Blessings that We Know

To sunshine and its blushing dawn and brilliant sunsets we are drawn which over plains and mountains glow. How sweet God’s blessings that we know. We wait expectantly to see pink cherry blossoms on a tree and flowers that in springtime grow. How sweet God’s blessings that we know. The warbling bird; the butterfly; the promise painted in blue sky - dear Lord’s awe-inspiring rainbow. How sweet God’s blessings that we know. The scintillating stars of night; a moon in June when big and bright; refreshment that soft breezes blow. How sweet God’s blessings that we know. Cool streams and rivers running clear; fall’s bounties before winter’s near; the tranquil days of virgin snow. How sweet God’s blessings that we know.
