THANKSGIVING SONG.
BY CLINTON ~scoLLARD.

Upon this day, long sanctiied,
O Father, be our guard and guide!
For all the brooding motherlove-
The yearning tenderness thereof
For the soft light in children's eyes,
Than springtime skies more fair to see,
For kindness in every guise,
Thanksgiving be!
On this dear day, 0 gracious Lord,
Be Thou our watch, be Thou our ward!
For the sweet charities that spring
From out the heart of suffering,
For the divine in man that leads
By thorny paths that none may flee
To sanity, sa%crificial deeds,
Thanksgiving be!
o Giver, on this hallowed day,
Be Thou a beacon Ger our way!
