Daily Affirmations - Day 6 - Focus on Gratitude - Full of His Glory

Day 6: Full of His glory

The whole earth is full of His glory

How many are Your works, Lord! In wisdom You made them all... (Psalm 104:24).

Father, we thank Thee for the night,

And for the pleasant morning light;

For rest and food and loving care,

And all that makes the world so fair.

Help us to do the things we should,

To be to others kind and good;

In all we do, in work or play,

To love Thee better day by day.

~ Rebecca J. Weston ~1885

Thanks be to God, to Whom earth owes

Sunshine and breeze,

The heath-clad hill, the vale’s repose,

Streamlet and seas,

The snowdrop and the summer rose,

The many-voiced trees.

Thanks for the darkness that reveals

Night’s starry dower;

And for the sable cloud that heals

Each fevered flower,

And for the rushing storm that peals

Our weakness and Thy power.

Thanks for the sweetly-lingering might

In music’s tone;

For paths of knowledge, whose calm light

Is all Thine own;

For thoughts that at the Infinite

Fold their bright wings alone.

Yet thanks that silence oft may flow

In dew-like store;

Thanks for the mysteries that show

How small our lore;

Thanks that we here so little know,

And trust Thee all the more!

Thanks for the gladness that entwines

Our path below,

Each sunrise that incarnadines

The cold, still snow;

Thanks for the light of love which shines

With brightest earthly glow.

Thanks for the sickness and the grief

Which none may flee,

For loved ones standing now around

The crystal Sea,

And for the weariness of heart

Which only rests in Thee.

Thanks for Thine own thrice-blessèd Word,

And Sabbath rest;

Thanks for the hope of glory stored

In mansions blest;

Thanks for the Spirit’s comfort poured

Into the trembling breast.

Thanks, more than thanks, to Him ascend,

Who died to win

Our life, and every trophy rend

From death and sin;

Till, when the thanks of earth shall end,

The thanks of Heaven begin!
