THANKSGIVING

 

Wasatch_Mountains,_Utah_oil_Albert_Bierstadt 

This morn, O God, on lowly bended knee   

Our fairest Utah lift her heart to Thee 

In Thankful prase: 

 For all the blessings which the year has brought, 

For all the mercies Thy dear hand hath wrought, 

In divers ways. 

 We thank thee, Lord, thou hast preserved from fire, 

From flood, from pestilence, and famine dire

 Our much loved land: 

 Kindly forgiving our unworthiness.  

Thou hast seen fit,

 O Lord, to hold and bless  

Within Thy Hand 

Snow capped our mountains, bearing yellow gold,

 Smiling our plains, with fruitfulness untold. 

 Healthful the breeze; 

Do Thou, most kindly, graciously draw near,

List, while Thy loving, waiting children here,

Bless Thee for these.

Nothing we ask; in Thee we put our trust,

Thou knowest, Father, what is best for us;

Thy hand alway Tempers the wind, 

and what soe'er be tide

        Will bring again a sweet, well-satisfied

                                                                         Thanksgiving Day
