“Landing of the Pilgrims” – Stained Glass Windows  in Pilgrims Hall

THANKSGIVING

For our supply of daily bread,

By which we’ve been so duly fed;

For clothing meet the year round,

And homes where shelter we have found:

Our Father God we thank Thee.

For magazines and books to read,

And other things the mind may need;

For music’s gifts for our delight,

And all the beauties for our sight;

Our Father God we thank Thee.

For loved ones dear to human kind,

And blessings we in friendships find;

For nature’s children large and small,

For outdoor treasures enriching all;

Our Father God we thank Thee.

For blessings ours when we receive,

For blessings greater when we give;

For service sent when we had need,

For chance to serve by word and deed;

Our Father God we thank Thee.

For institutions of our land,

For public schools on every hand;

For churches free to serve our God,

And freedom greater than the rod;

Our Father God we thank Thee.

For a nation’s prayer that right decide,

For a nation’s prayer that love abide,

For a nation strong where freedom reigns,

For a nation armed where night remains;

Our Father God we thank Thee.

For a loving Christ who for us died,

For a present Christ now at our side,

For a life on earth with Jesus shared,

For a Father’s house for us prepared;

Our Father God we thank Thee.
