Thank giving.

Margaret E. Sangster, in Halper's Bazaar.
We have so much to thank Thee for,
Lord of the vintage and the Sheaf,
OF garden flower and forest leaf
Our praises climb to more and more.
For never were our barns so pressed
With golden weight of fragrant grain,
And fruits that came in perfumed train,
Till Nature babe the fair land rest.
Our ships that furrow every sea
Fare onward with the great world s
bread;
The peoples from our granaries fed
Send up their need of thanks to Thee.
Lord of the wave, and of the shore,
Lord OF the winds that wander wide,
Lord of the planets and the tide,
We praise and bless Thee more and more.
And most of all for household mirth,
For mothers smile and lisp of child,
For love by no false lure beguiled,
We praise Thee, Lord, of home and health.
