| Create within us, our Father, that true gratidue that shall make this day of Thanksgiving one of rededication, when we shall think not of how much we can eat, but of how thankful we ought to be. --Peter Marshall |
|
| We thanks thee, Father up above For all Thy autumn gifts of love, You give us beauty unsurpassed -- Resplendent scenes of billiance massed. And to Thee this we also owe; The ample harvests that we know; But to Thee, Father, most of all, We thank Thee for creating fall. --Paula Sampson |
| Bless this food we have prepared As gifts from Thee to now be shared. |
| Thanksgiving, to be truly Thanksgiving, is first thanks, then giving. |
| Bless this food and table, Lord; and know that Thou art most adored With grateful hearts our thanks we say, and for Thy grace, we humbly pray. Keep thanksgiving in each heart to give each day a rich, new start. Fill our souls with peace and cheer, and bless Thy children gathered here. |
| Bless us Lord, who gather here; Fill this day with thanks and cheer. Look on each beloved face, Granting pardon, strength and grace. Dwell within our hearts, we pray; And bless us this Thanksgiving Day. |
