For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food, for love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.

For tender grass, so fresh, so sweet;
For song of bird, and hum of bee;
For all things fair we hear or see,
Father in heaven, we thank Thee!

Patient of labour when the end was rest,
Indulged the day that housed their annual grain,
With feasts, and off'rings, and a thankful strain.

Give one thing more, - a grateful heart;
Not thankful when it pleaseth me,
As if Thy blessings had spare days,
But such a heart whose pulse may be Thy praise.

And the worn matron smiles where the girl smiled before.

What calls back the past, like the rich pumpkin pie?

And some wad eat that want it;

Sae let the Lord be thankit.

Peace in the hearts of all men living,
peace in the whole world this Thanksgiving.

Lord, 'tis Thy plenty-dropping hand
That soils my land,
And giv'st me for my bushel sowne
Twice ten for one.
All this, and better, Thou dost send
Me, to this end,
That I should render, for my part,
A thankful heart.

For what I give, not what I take,
For battle, not for victory,
My prayer of thanks I make.

May your stuffing be tasty
May your turkey plump,
May your potatoes and gravy
Have nary a lump.
May your yams be delicious
And your pies take the prize,
And may your Thanksgiving dinner
Stay off your thighs!
