422. We thank Thee, O our Father

Catherine Mary McSorley

A prayer of thanksgiving, especially for the flowers which, growing in the most unlikely places, make the world so bright and fair and reveal the power and love of God.

Julian attributes the hymn to Catherine Mary McSorley but gives no information concerning her. The hymn appeared in the Appendix of the Irish Church Hymnal, 1891, and was published in Church Hymns, England, 1903.
