God's truth and kindness grace their home, his presence fill the humblest room, his Spirit stir their prayers; his Spirit stir their prayers. 4 With brightened eyes of faith we'll see God's plan for them made plain: so shall our hearts together be uplifted in the Trinity and echo the amen; and echo the amen.

In our day of thanksgiving one psalm let us offer

Author: William Henry Draper, 1855-1933 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #689 (2010) Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions Funerals/Commemorations Lyrics: 1 In our day of thanksgiving one psalm let us offer for the saints who before us have found their reward; when the shadow of death fell upon them, we sorrowed, but now we rejoice that they rest in the Lord. 2 In the morning of life, and at noon, and at evening, he called them away from our worship below; but not till his love, at the font and the altar, had girt them with grace for the way they should go. 3 These stones that have echoed their praises are holy, and dear is the ground where their feet have once trod; yet here they confessed they were strangers and pilgrims, and still they were seeking the city of God. 4 Sing praise, then, for all who here sought and here found him, whose journey is ended, whose perils are past; they believed in the light; and its glory is round them, where the clouds of earth’s sorrows are lifted at last.
