The Journey of Love

歲末年初的季節, 在教會裡最常聽到的少不了感謝神的詩歌, 不論過去一年如何, 我們都感謝, 這首詩歌, 適合這樣的氣氛。

感謝神賜我救贖主，感謝神豐富預備，
感謝神過去的同在，感謝神主在我旁，
感謝神賜溫暖春天，感謝神淒涼秋景，
感謝神抹乾我眼淚，感謝神賜我安寧。

感謝神禱告蒙應允，感謝神未蒙垂聽，
感謝神我曾經風暴，感謝神豐富供應，
感謝神賜我苦與樂，在絕望裏得安慰，
感謝神賜無限恩典，感謝神無比慈愛。

感謝神賜路旁玫瑰，感謝神玫瑰有刺，
感謝神賜家庭溫暖，感謝神有福盼望，
感謝神賜喜樂憂愁，感謝神屬天平安，
感謝神賜明天盼望，要感謝直到永遠！

Thanks to God for my Redeemer,
Thanks for all Thou dost provide!
Thanks for times now but a mem'ry,
Thanks for Jesus by my side!
Thanks for pleasant, balmy springtime,
Thanks for dark and stormy fall!
Thanks for tears by now forgotten,
Thanks for peace within my soul!

Thanks for prayers that Thou hast answered,
Thanks for what Thou dost deny!
Thanks for storms that I have weathered,
Thanks for all Thou dost supply!
Thanks for pain, and thanks for pleasure,
Thanks for comfort in despair!
Thanks for grace that none can measure,
Thanks for love beyond compare!

Thanks for roses by the wayside,
Thanks for thorns their stems contain!
Thanks for home and thanks for fireside,
Thanks for hope, that sweet refrain!
Thanks for joy and thanks for sorrow,
Thanks for heav'nly peace with Thee!
Thanks for hope in the tomorrow,
Thanks through all eternity!
