O Thou whose bounty fills my cup,
With every blessing meet!
I give Thee thanks for every drop,
The bitter and the sweet.

I praise Thee for the desert road,
And for the river side,
For all thy goodness hath bestowed,
And all thy grace denied.

I thank Thee for both smile and frown,
And for the gain and loss;
I praise Thee for the future crown,
And for the present cross.

I bless Thee for the glad increase,
And for the waning joy,
And for this strange, this settled peace,
Which nothing can destroy.
