Thanksgiving All the Year.
once year there comes day
In the chill November weather
When from near and far away
Loving kindred meet together.
Round the old hearthstone they meet,
Young and old, In union tender,
To renew their greetings sweet
And their mutual love to render.
Thanks are given that once again
They whom distance separated,
With their hearts all free from pain,
Gather there with hearts elated.
Yet through all the changing year
We for giving thanks have reason
For the blessings that appear,
That we find in every season.
Thanks for shelter from the storm,
Thanks because no ills confound us,
Thanks for hearts that e'er are warm,
Thanks for loving friends around us.
Thanks for health that day by day
With fresh pleasure comes attended,
Thanks for sorrow passed away,
Thanks for troubles that are ended.
So, for blessings we receive,
Making our lives worth the living.
Every day of joy we live
Should be to us thanksgiving.
