Once a year on Thanksgiving Day

Across our mighty nation

People gather to thank the Lord,

The Lord of our creation.

It doesn’t matter what food we eat

It matters if each thought

Is filled with grateful thankfulness

For life and lessons taught.

Invite the Lord of all the harvests

To join you at the table

And bless the food you have prepared

As only He is able.

He’ll not only bless the food

He’ll bless you as you pray.

We’ll feel just like the Pilgrims did

That first Thanksgiving Day!

Everywhere you look in autumn

There’s a touch of gold,

Shimmering in the lovely sun

In beauty manifold.

King Midas would rejoice if he

Could spend each golden leaf!

We know that making all things gold

Can only come to grief.

Richer is the love of God.

Free for everyone!

No one need be poor if he

But choose to love God’s Son.

Could autumn’s gold be just a hint

Of beauty we will see,

While strolling Heaven’s streets of gold

For all Eternity?
