Happy Thanksgiving

We thank Thee, Father,

God, of all,

For green of Spring,

And gold of Fall!

For shining stars,

For calm of night,

For trees in bloom,

For birds in flight;

For music of

The sky and sea;

For love of friends

And family;

For woods and hills

And lakes and streams;

For laughter, song,

And hopes and dreams.

For mother's tender,

Loving care -

For things of beauty

Everywhere.

We thank Thee for

The joy of living;

And sing a hymn

Of our thanksgiving!
