First Line: For light and life, for strength and work

Subject(s): God; Life
For light and life, for strength and work,
For solemn hours and days of mirth,
For shine and shower, for death and birth,
I thank thee, God.
For pleasant paths, for thorns that lurk,
For those who scorn, for friends of worth,
For loves of old refound on earth,
I thank thee, God.
