Give Thanks

Author: Anonymous Meter: 11.11.12.12 Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Give thanks for the corn and the wheat that are reaped Lyrics: 1 Give thanks for the corn and the wheat that are reaped, for labor well done and for barns that are heaped, for the sun and the dew and the sweet honeycomb, for the rose and the song and the harvest brought home. 2 Give thanks for the mills and the farms of our land, for craft and the strength in the work of our hands, for the beauty our artists and poets have wrought, for the hope and affection our friendships have brought. 3 Give thanks for the homes that with kindness are blessed, for seasons of plenty and well-deserved rest, for our country extending from sea unto sea, for ways that have made it a land for the free.

Person Name: Anonymous Author of "Give Thanks" in Singing the Living Tradition In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
