Thanksgiving Hymn
Well Liked at Birth
But Now Forgotten

The FIRST presidential Thanksgiving
proclamation was that Of President
Washington In 1850 on the occasion
Of the adoption Of the Constitution.
the day, curiously enough, being No
vember 26-the date Of celebration Of
1853. This latter was the READ fore
runne Of national Thanksgiving
day. Occasional and special times Of
thanksgiving. had often been appoint
ed by different Presidents, but the year
1853, famous for its decisive national
victories. : marked also the beginning
Of the snnual series Of THANKSGIVING
days
The great Victories Of Gettysburg
and Vicksburg were really the cause
Of Lincoln's proclamation, and his ex-
ample has been followed by all his
successors until the annual festival
has become one Of ~ national insti-
tutions.
a. The proclamation Of 1863 YVES e
markable as the first Of a series, X
tending now over fifty years. It was
also noticeable because 1t was the oc-
casion Of a thanksgiving hymn BY the
famous Reverend Doctor Muhlepburg
Of st. Luke's hospital, New York city.
He is well known as the author Of the
familiar hymn, II Would Not. Live Al
way and q poet Of nc small repute.
Mr.. Lincoln's glowing words met his
eye and struck q responsive chord in
his heart A noble Thanksgiving
hymn was the result, a hymn which at
the time was often sung, but is now
comparatively forgotten. It was pub
lished with appropriate music, and
even yet Is suitable for use ON similar
OCCASIONS
The hymn contains nine stanzas.
with chorus, and takes up In order the
various causes for thanksgiving men
toned In Mr.. Lincoln's proclamation.
The original title was "Give Thanks
All Ye People," the nrst verse being

As the hymn was suggested By Mr..
Lincoln's call upon the nation to give
thanks, Doctor Muhlenburg spoke Of It

not permanently offer such q title
without Nj. Lincoln's approval. Mr..
