139. Thanksgiving Hymn

1 Almighty Lord of glory,
Our praise to Him we bring,
And chant our country's story,
Whose God alone is King.
His outstretched arms sustaining,
Behold the May flow'r come;
His mercy foreordaining,
Our land for freedom's home,
His mercy foreordaining,
Our land for freedom's home.

2 With half of heav'n above us,
An ocean on each hand,
We've room for all who love us,
And join our brother band,
Praising the great all giver,
Our home feast we display;
And ever and forever,
Keep free Thanksgiving day,
And ever and forever,
Keep free Thanksgiving day.

3 In palace or in prison,
Our festival is one,
The witness Christ is risen,
Good will for men begun;
Our hearts one hope rejoices,
Our souls in concert play;
'Mid songs of choral voices,
God bless Thanksgiving day,
'Mid songs of choral voices,
God bless Thanksgiving day.
