Happy Thanksgiving!

From the only Thanksgiving Hymn I know:
Come, ye thankful people, come, 
raise the song of harvest home;
all is safely gathered in, 
ere the winter storms begin.
God our Maker doth provide 
for our wants to be supplied;
come to God’s own temple, come, 
raise the song of harvest home.

All the world is God’s own field, 
fruit as praise to God we yield;
wheat and tares together sown 
are to joy or sorrow grown.
First the blade and then the ear, 
then the full corn shall appear;
Lord of harvest, grant that we 
wholesome grain and pure may be.
