A THANKSGIVING HYMN.

Sacred wine of loves libation
TO the Father ever more,
Gratitude and conservation
From our hearts well daily pour.
In the hand extended Ger us.
In the golden days behind,
In the sky-bright hopes before us,
Thy compassion we may find.
For the friendships that engirt us.
For affections sacred flame,
For Thy law which doth convert US,
We would magnify Thy name.
Thanks we give for home and nation.
For the blood that made us free.
Seeking still the contamination
OF our perfect liberty.
For the altar fires glowing
With religions holy light:
For the spirit breezes blowing:
For the faith transcending sight:
For the storm, the sun. the rainbow.
Verdant pastures. pleasant ways
For Thy mercies' constant inflow
Hear our prisons OF praise.
