Explore "Thanksgiving" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Well is it for the land whose people, yearly, / Turn to the Giver of all Good with praise, / Chanting glad hymns that thank him, loudly, clearly, / Rejoicing in the beauty of his ways.
Great name that means all perfectness and power! / We thank thee-not for mercy, nor release, / But for clear joy in sky and sea and flower, / In thy pure justice, and thy blessed peace.
We live; behind us the dark past; before, / A wide way full of light that thou dost give; / More light, more strength, more joy and ever more- / O God of joy! we thank thee that we live!
