THANKSGIVING

Praise to God and Thanks We Bring
(ST.GEORGE'S, WINDSOR 7,7,7,7,D.)
William C. Gannet, 1882 George J. Elvey, 1859
 
  1. Praise to God and thanks we bring, Hearts, bow down, and voices, sing!
    Praises to the Glorious One, All his year of wonder done!
    Praise him for his bud- ding green, April's resurrection scene ;
    Praise him for his shining hours, Starring all the land with flowers !
  2. Praise him for his summer rain, Feeding day and night the grain;
    Praise him for his tiny seed, Holding all his world shall need;
    Praise him for his garden root, Meadow grass and orchard fruit;
    Praise for hills and valleys broad, Each the table of the Lord!
  3. Praise him now for snowy rest, Falling soft on nature's breast ;
    Praise for happy dreams of birth, Brooding in the quiet earth :
    For his year of won-der done, Praise to the All glorious One
    Hearts, bow down, and voices, sing Praise,and love, and thanksgiving ! A-men.
