For Eyes Whereby I Clearly See

about

Prayer by Richard Molesworth Dennis (1914)

lyrics

For eyes whereby I clearly see
The many lovely things there be
For lungs to breath the morning air
For nose to smell its fragrance rare
For tongue to taste the fruits that grow
For birds that sing and flowers that blow

For limbs to climb and swim and run
For skin to feel the cheerful sun
For sun and moon and stars in heaven
Whose gracious light is freely given
The winds that sing as they rush by
The clouds that race across the sky

The shelter of the shady woods
Where I may spend my lonely moods
Take thou my thanks, O God above,
For all these tokens of thy love

And when I am much older -
Thou make me as grateful then, as now.
