PRAISE FOR GOD, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: I thank thee for the stars that shine
Last Line: And for thyself I praise thee most.
Subject(s): Holidays; Thanksgiving


I thank Thee for the stars that shine
Supreme among the heavenly host;
But Thou dost lead the golden line,
And for Thyself I thank Thee most.

I thank Thee for the loveliness
That decks the wood, the field, the coast;
But Thou, of all that Thou dost bless,
Art fairest, and I praise Thee most.

I thank Thee for majestic mind,
The thought that seers and sages boast;
But Thou dost lead Thy creatures blind,
And for Thyself I thank Thee most.

I praise Thee for man's mastery,
Each gain another starting-post;
But all he finds in finding Thee,
And for Thyself I praise Thee most.
