Happy Thanksgiving

"Enter into His gates with thanksgiving and a thank offering

and into His courts with praise! Be thankful and say so to Him,

bless and affectionately praise His name!

For the Lord is good; His mercy and loving-kindness are

everlasting, His faithfulness and truth endure to all generations."

Psalm 100:4-5

Happy Thanksgiving 

Now thank we all our God, With heart and hands and voices,

Who wondrous things hath done,  In whom His world rejoices;

Who,  from our mothers' arms,  Hath blessed us on our way,

With countless gifts of love,  And still is ours today.

O may this bounteous God,  Through all our life be near us,

With ever joyful hearts,  And blessed peace to cheer us;

And keep us in His grace,  And guide us when perplexed;

And free us from all ills,   In this world and the next!

All praise and thanks to God,  The Father now be given;

The Son, and Him who reigns,  With Them in highest Heaven;

The one eternal God,  Whom earth and Heaven adore;

For thus it was, is now,  And shall be evermore.  Amen.


Have a very blessed and beautiful Thanksgiving!
