The Lord has certainly been good to us, not only this past year, but every year!

Thanks, O God, for boundless mercy, from Thy gracious throne above

Thanks for daily toil and labor, and for rest when shadows fall;

Thanks for love of friend and neighbor, and Thy goodness unto all!

Happy Thanksgiving!
