Thanksgiving should be every day
Instead of once a year.
Give thanks each day, give thanks each night,
To Christ who is so dear.
Give thanks each day, give thanks each night,
For all the Lord has done.
He’ll help us fight our battles
Until the victory’s won.
Give thanks unto the Savior,
His joyous praises sing;
In the ears of every Christian
Let the name of Jesus ring.
Give thanks to Him each morning,
Give thanks at noon and night.
Ask Him for daily blessings,
And stand up for the right.
Let each day be Thanksgiving,
For the blessings from above,
For guidance and protection
And His eternal love.
[LIFE’S EVENING TIDE]
While passing through life’s youthful days
We should think of its evening tide,
Be gentle and true in all our ways
And in Jesus Christ abide.
Each youthful day could be usefulness
In something done or said,
Then history could give more examples
For others when we are dead.
We live in life’s evening tide when we are old,
Our remembrance is as fresh as the dew
Of things that we did in our youthful days,
Whether good or bad, many or few.
