Thanksgiving...

      We gather together
to ask the Lord's blessing;
He chastens and hastens
His will to make known.
The wicked oppressing
now cease from distressing.
Sing praises to His name,
He forgets not His own.

Beside us to guide us,
our God with us joining,
ordaining, maintaining
His Kingdom divine;
so from the beginning
the fight we were winning;
Thou, Lord, wast at our side,
all glory be Thine!

We all do extol Thee,
Thou leader triumphant,
and pray that thou still
our Defender wilt be.
Let Thy congregation
escape tribulation;
Thy name be ever praised!
O Lord, make us free!

Thanksgiving Blessings
From Our Home To Yours.

  4. Thank you Donna for singing to us this beautiful Thanksgiving morning!!!

    I am saddened by the fact that merchandisers have decided they need to make money today and are keeping the stores open instead of giving thanks!

    Have a wonderful day and enjoy your time with family!
