Take time to see

It seems to hard to understand
As I look across the land
That all I view belongs to me
I ought to take more time to see.

The distant hills and mountains high
The rallying clouds and bright blue sky
No one can take these views from h\me
As long as I have eyes to see

A timid deer with a haunting look
Who stands refreshed by yonder brook
Knows not that he belongs to me
Oh, what a thrilling sight to see!

The song of birds so gay and clean
That fills the morning air with cheer
And fragrant follows of every hue
That stands erect bedecked with dew
All these and more belong to me
If I but use my eyes to see.

When evening shadows gather night
And twinkling stars light up the sky
I hear my Master say to me
My heart grows warm with faith and pride
To know that he is by my side.
