Enter into his gates
with thanksgiving,
and into his courts
with praise: be
thankful unto him,
and bless his name.
Psalm 100:4
We're thankful for Thy blessings, Lord,
Thy watchful eye above;
For freedom's bell that tolls for all
In this dear land we love.
We're thankful, Lord, for useful work,
For measures of good health;
For family ties and friendship dear,
More precious these than wealth.
For all Thy tender mercies, Lord,
For sunshine and for rain,
For golden harvest richly blessed
In yield of fruit and grain.
On this Thanksgiving day, dear Lord,
We bow in humble prayer;
We're thankful for Thy blessings, Lord;
Thy gifts are everywhere!
