Thanksgiving Hymns

In church on Sunday I was so glad to see that we were singing Thanksgiving hymns. Here are the songs I fully enjoyed singing that day:

Come Ye Thankful People Come (Mormon Tabernacle Choir)  Lyrics here 
Favorite line: God, our Maker, doth provide for our wants to be supplied
(Note that it says "our wants"--I have been so blessed to never not have my needs met, but also that I've had so many wants given to me and my family.)

Prayer of Thanksgiving (Mormon Tabernacle Choir)  Lyrics here 
Favorite line: Beside us to guide us
(Because who doesn't feel the need to have heavenly guidance?)

Now Thank We All Our God (small group on lds.org)
Favorite line: With countless gifts of love
(It doesn't say a few, or even lots, it says countless. So true, so true.)

Sometimes this holiday gets squeezed out, with Christmas stuff in the stores even before Halloween. It's such a great thing to take time to think about all we've been blessed with and to offer thanks to our Father who provides it all for us, just because he loves us and wants us to be happy. I hope you have a wonderful day on Thursday!
