Thanksgiving

We give Thee thanks O Lord!
Not for armed legions, marching in their might
Not for the glory of the well-earned fight
Where brave men slay their brothers also brave
But for the millions of Thy SONS who work.
And do Thy tasks with joy-and never shirk,
And deem the idle man a burden slave
For these, Lord, our thanks
We give Thee thanks, 0 Lord!
Not for the turrets of our men-0f-war
The monstrous guns, and deadly steel they pour
To crush our foes and make them bow the knee
But for the homely sailors of Thy deep,
The tireless fisher folk who Danish sleep
And lure living from the miser sea-
For these, Lord, our thanks
We give Thee thanks, 0 Lord
Not for the mighty men who pile up gold
Not for the phantom Millions bought and sod
And all the arrogance of pomp and greed;
But for the pioneers who plough the field
Make deserts blossom, and the mountain yield
Its hidden treasures for mans daily need
For these, 0 Lord, our thankS
We give Thee thanks, 0 Lord
Not for the palaces that wealth has grown,
Where ease is worshippedduty dimly known,
And Pleasure leads her dance the fowery way;
But for the quiet homes where love is queen
And life is more than baubles touched and seen,
And old folks bless us, and dear children play
For these Lord, our thanks
