Lyrics
Give thanks and sing, O soul of mine, today!
The dawn is breaking, night has passed away
New hopes awake, sad dreams and tears are vain
Give thanks and sing, O soul of mine, again
Give thanks and sing at noontide’s golden hour
See how the sunshine kisses leaf and flow’r
Great voices call, the grief and strife are o’er
Give thanks and sing, O soul of mine, once more
Give thanks, my soul, when falls the solemn night
Kneel down in prayer beneath the starry light
The sleeping world forgets its grief and pain
Give thanks and sing, O soul of mine, again
The sleeping world forgets its grief and pain
Give thanks and sing, O soul of mine, again
