Let us give thanks to God above, <br />Thanks for expressions of His love, <br />Seen in the book of nature, grand <br />Taught by His love on every hand. <br /> <br />Let us be thankful in our hearts, <br />Thankful for all the truth imparts, <br />For the religion of our Lord, <br />All that is taught us in His word. <br /> <br />Let us be thankful for a land, <br />That will for such religion stand; <br />One that protects it by the law, <br />One that before it stands in awe. <br /> <br />Thankful for all things let us be, <br />Though there be woes and misery; <br />Lessons they bring us for our good- <br />Later 'twill all be understood. <br /> <br />Thankful for peace o'er land and sea, <br />Thankful for signs of liberty, <br />Thankful for homes, for life and health, <br />Pleasure and plenty, fame and wealth. <br /> <br />Thankful for friends and loved ones, too, <br />Thankful for all things, good and true, <br />Thankful for harvest in the fall, <br />Thankful to Him who gave it all.<br /><br />Lizelia Augusta Jenkins Moorer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/thanksgiving-3/
