We praise Thee, Lord, of all the earth, for love and joy…

“We praise Thee, Lord, of all the earth, for love and joy, for light and mirth, for every charm of sense and right, and blessings boundless as Thy might… But most we praise the love that gave thine own dear Son to seek and save, for joy all other joys excelling, for purest light and life indwelling.” quote by Cecil Frances Alexander
