Thanks for joining us in giving thanks to our Lord for all the blessings we've received.

Here are hymn words so you can sing along!

 

Give Thanks   W&P 41

Give thanks with a grateful heart,
Give thanks to the Holy One,
Give thanks because he's given Jesus Christ, his Son. 
Give thanks with a grateful heart,
Give thanks to the Holy One,
Give thanks because he's given Jesus Christ, his Son. 

And now let the weak say, "I am strong,"
Let the poor say, "I am rich,"
Because of what the Lord has done for us.
And now let the weak say, "I am strong,"
Let the poor say, "I am rich,"
Because of what the Lord has done for us.

Give thanks with a grateful heart,
Give thanks to the Holy One,
Give thanks because he's given Jesus CHrist, his Son.
Give thanks!

 

Now Thank We All Our God    ELW 840

Now thank we all our God
With hearts and hands and voices,
Who wondrous things has done,
In whom this world rejoices;
Who, from our mothers' arms,
Has blest us on our way
With countless gifts of love,
And still is ours today.

Oh, may this bounteous God
Through all our life be near us,
With ever joyful hearts
And blessed peace to cheer us,
And keep us all in grace,
And guide us when perplexed,
And free us from all harm
In this world and the next.

All praise and thanks to God
The Father now be given,
The Son, and Spirit blest,
Who reign in highest heaven,
The one eternal God,
Whom earth and heav'n adore;
For this it was, is now,
And shall be evermore.

 

This Is My Father's World     ELW 824

This is my Father's world,
And to my list'ning ears
All nature sings,and round me rings
The music of the spheres. 
This is my Father's world;
I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas;
His hand the wonders wrought.


This is my Father's world;
The birds their carols raise;
The morning light, the lily white,
Declare their maker's praise. 
This is my Father's world;
He shines in all that's fair,
In the rustling grass I hear him pass;
He speaks to me ev'rywhere.


This is my Father's world,
Oh, let me not forget
That though the wrong seems oft so strong,
God is the ruler yet.
This is my Father's world;
Why should my heart be sad? 
The Lord is king, let heaven ring;
God reigns, let earth be glad!

 

Before You Lord We Bow    ELW 893

Before you, Lord, we bow,
Our God who reigns above
And rules the world below
With boundless pow'r and love.
Our thanks we bring
In joy and praise,
Our heart we raise,
To you we sing!

May ev'ry mountain height,
Eachevale and forest green,
Shine forth in wisdom's light,
And its rich fruits be seen!
May ev'ry tongue
Be tuned to praise 
And join to raise 
A grateful song.

Earth, hear your maker's voice;
Your great redeemer own;
Believe, obey, rejoice,
And worship God alone.
Cast down your pride,
Your sin deplore,
And bow before,
The Crucified.

And when in po'wr he comes,
Oh, may then ev'ry land
From all its rending
Tombs sent forth
A glorious band. 
A countless throng,
With you to sing
To heav'n's high king
Salvation's song!
