Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving

Thanks, O God, for boundless mercy

From thy gracious throne above;

Thanks for every need provided

From the fullness of Thy love.

Thanks for daily toil and labor

And for rest when shadows fall;

Thanks for love of friend and neighbor

And Thy goodness unto all.

Thanks for thorns as well as roses,

Thanks for weakness and for health;

Thaks for coluds as well as sunshine,

Thanks for poverty and wealth,

Thanks for pain as well as pleasure

All Thou sendest day by day;

And Thy Word, our dearest treasure,

Shedding light upon our way.

Words by August Ludvig Storm (translated by Norman Johnson)
