We thank Thee LordA
For all Thy Golden SilencesB
For every Sabbath from the world's turmoilC
For every respite from the stress of lifeD
Silence of moorlands rolling to the skiesE
Heath purpled bracken clad aflame with gorseE
Silence of grey tors crouching in the mistF
Silence of deep woods' mystic cloistered calmG
Silence of wide seas basking in the sunH
Silence of white peaks soaring to the blueI
Silence of dawnings when their matins sungJ
The little birds do fall asleep againK
For the deep silence of high golden noonsE
Silence of gloamings and the setting sunH
Silence of moonlit nights and patterned gladesE
Silence of stars magnificently stillL
Yet ever chanting their Creator's skillL
For that high silence of Thine Open HouseE
Dim branching roof and lofty pillared aisleM
Where burdened hearts find rest in Thee awhileM
Silence of friendship telling more than wordsE
Silence of hearts close knitting heart to heartN
Silence of joys too wonderful for wordsE
Silence of sorrows when Thou drawest nearO
Silence of soul wherein we come to TheeP
And find ourselves in Thine ImmensityN
For that great silence where Thou dwell'st aloneQ
Father Spirit Son in OneH
Keeping watch above Thine OwnQ
Deep unto deep within us sound sweet chordsE
Of praise beyond the reach of human wordsE
In our souls' silence feeling only TheeP
We thank Thee thank TheeP
Thank Thee LordN
