THANKSGIVING

When friends or families in accord

Together dine at festive board,

In thankful words our tongues employ

For all the blessings we enjoy.

So here’s a grace we all can say

We thank Thee, Lord, Who art most high

For FOOD

In a world where millions from starvation die.

We thank Thee, Lord of loving care

For FAITH

When millions doubt and some despair.

Our thanks to Thee, 0 Lord, ascend

For UNITY

Where many have no kin nor friend.

Each day with ZEAL

May we recall who is our brother

In fellowship with one another.
