Giving Thanks on This Thanksgiving
MAMIE OZBURp ODUM
Lord we thank Thee
For 1 precious heritage forefathers gave;
Those noble ones so fearless and so brave
Who came to clear a wilderness unknown
Transforming waste to a foundation stone.
Surviving dangers, loneliness and fears
Looking and trusting to the future years.
This day we lift our hearts for we are free
To sing our songs of praise, all thanks to Thee;
They gave to us this heritage we know
By Thy great help throughout the years, and so —
In humbleness we lift our hearts in prayer
Asking Thy protection, and Thy daily care.
We thank Thee Lord —
For food, shelter, health, and home and love,
For herds, sweet flowers, and a cooing dove,
As year by year we meet in festive scenes
Help us to know just what Thanksgiving means;
And on this day of days in bright November
Help us know right, and heritages remember,
And strive each year for helpful, nobler living
Giving Thanks to God on this Thanksgiving.
