Gratitude Gone Wild
From my thankful heart up-springing-
Happy praises, joyful singing
As I contemplate the many things-
The million things-You've done.
Fresh and flowing crystal fountains,
Great, majestic, rugged mountains
You are Author, and Creator,
And First Cause of every one.
Precious Fount of Every Blessing,
I have no way of expressing
The great joy I have in knowing
That I am your own dear child!
Contemplating Your compassion
Puts me in a holy passion
As I revel in that sacred joy
Of gratitude gone wild.
I have no means of expression
Of the joy in my possession
At the gifts that you have given me!
I prize them, every one!
At Your right hand, there is pleasure,
Which eternity can't measure,
That inestimable Treasure-
Your Own One Beloved Son!
Of all the gifts I'm thankful for,
He is the One I most adore!
He's Prince, and Priest, and King, and Lord,
And Wonderful to me!
The Just Cause of my elation
Is His wonderful Salvation,
And knowing that My Lord is mine,
And mine, He'll always be!
