The Cyber Hymnal ‎#10579

10579. I Thank Thee, Father, That I Live

1 I thank Thee, Father, that I live
To see this day of Thine;
This day of rest, this day of peace,
Proclaims Thy love divine.

2 Today, I thank thee, most of all,
For Thy best gift of love;
The gift of Christ, whose saving grace
We all, today, may prove.

3 And when the evening shades of life
Bring slumber and repose,
Oh, may I see Thee face to face,
Where Sabbaths never close!
