Praise God for All the Blessings
Praise God for all the blessings that he give,
Though we may not declare it strong enough--
How lucky that we are to be alive,
To have been born in this world you’ve and I’ve
Been lucky in extreme, though life is rough.
Praise God for all the blessings that he give,
Exceedingly this first, superlative,
That we have been so blessed with living “stuff,”
How lucky that we are to be alive!
The world is harsh, we struggle to survive,
Yet though we work, in praising let’s not sluff:
Praise God for all the blessings that he give.
Miraculous, out of the void, arrive
Such creatures as ourselves! nor we then bluff:
How lucky that we are to be alive!
Divinity that through the spheres doth drive,
Thank thee for sparing us unbirth’s rebuff.
Praise God for all the blessings that he give,
How lucky that we are to be alive!
