Thanksgiving Songs
1. Come, Ye Thankful People, Come
Come, ye thankful people, come, raise the song of harvest
home;
All is safely gathered in, ere the winter storms begin.
God our Maker doth provide for our wants to be supplied;
Come to God's own temple, come, raise the song of harvest
home.
All the world is God's own field, fruit unto His praise to
yield;
Wheat and tares together sown unto joy or sorrow grown.
First the blade and then the ear, then the full corn shall
appear;
Lord of harvest, grant that we wholesome grain and pure
may be.
For the Lord our God shall come, and shall take His harvest
home;
From His field shall in that day all offenses purge away,
Giving angels charge at last in the fire the tares to cast;
But the fruitful ears to store in His garner evermore.
Even so, Lord, quickly come, bring Thy final harvest home;
Gather Thou Thy people in, free from sorrow, free from sin,
There, forever purified, in Thy garner to abide;
Come, with all Thine angels come, raise the glorious harvest
home.
2. Count Your Blessings
When upon life's billows you are tempest tossed,
When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,
Count your many blessings, name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.
Refrain
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
Count your blessings, see what God hath done!
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.
Are you ever burdened with a load of care?
Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?
Count your many blessings, every doubt will fly,
And you will keep singing as the days go by.
When you look at others with their lands and gold,
Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold;
Count your many blessings. Wealth can never buy
Your reward in heaven, nor your home on high.
So, amid the conflict whether great or small,
Do not be disheartened, God is over all;
Count your many blessings, angels will attend,
Help and comfort give you to your journey's end.
3. Give Thanks To God The Lord
Give thanks to God the Lord; upon his name now call.
Make known among the people on earth what he has done
for all.
Sing praise to him, now sing; his wondrous acts proclaim.
Rejoice, all you who seek the Lord; come glory in his name.
Look to the Lord's great strength; remember all his deeds.
His judgments are in all of the earth; he is the Lord indeed.
His cov'nant e'er will stand; his oath he'll ne'er forget.
A thousand generations pass; God's word continues yet.
Sing to the Lord, all earth; his saving power proclaim.
Declare his glory to every race; his marv'lous deeds now
name.
For great is God the Lord, most worthy of all praise.
He made the heavens and the earth; fear him and give him praise.
Splendor and majesty before the Lord are found.
Both strength and joy with him do dwell; bring off'rings,
come bow down.
Ascribe unto the Lord the glory due his name;
The splendor of his holiness now worship and proclaim.
Let now the heav'ns rejoice; let earth give glad refrain.
The world is 'stablished, ne'er to be moved; tell everyone
God reigns!
Now let the sea resound, be jubilant all fields;
The forest trees will sing for joy; earth's judge is now
revealed.
Give thanks to God the Lord; his goodness now declare.
He saves, delivers from every foe; his love endures fore'er.
Give thanks unto his name and glory in his praise;
Praise to the God of Israel for everlasting days.
4. Thanks To God
Thanks to God for my Redeemer,
Thanks for all Thou dost provide!
Thanks for times now but a memory,
Thanks for Jesus by my side!
Thanks for pleasant, balmy springtime,
Thanks for dark and stormy fall!
Thanks for tears by now forgotten,
Thanks for peace within my soul!
Thanks for prayers that Thou hast answered,
Thanks for what Thou dost deny!
Thanks for storms that I have weathered,
Thanks for all Thou dost supply!
Thanks for pain, and thanks for pleasure,
Thanks for comfort in despair!
Thanks for grace that none can measure,
Thanks for love beyond compare!
Thanks for roses by the wayside,
Thanks for thorns their stems contain!
Thanks for home and thanks for fireside,
Thanks for hope, that sweet refrain!
Thanks for joy and thanks for sorrow,
Thanks for heavenly peace with Thee!
Thanks for hope in the tomorrow,
Thanks through all eternity!
5. Ten Thousand Thanks To Jesus
Ten thousand thanks to Jesus,
Whose life our ransom paid,
Whose blood a full atonement
For all the world has made.
Let every heart adore Him;
Let every creature sing
Ten thousand thanks to Jesus,
Our Savior and our King.
Refrain
Ten thousand thanks,
Ten thousand thanks,
We'll praise Him o'er and o'er;
And for the life with Him to live,
Ten thousand thousand more!
Ten thousand thanks to Jesus;
How gladly would we give
Ten thousand lives to Jesus,
Had we so long to live.
Ten thousand tongues shall praise Him,
Ten thousand songs ascend
To Him, our blest Redeemer,
To Him, our dearest Friend!
Ten thousand thanks to Jesus
For blessings every hour;
Ten thousand times ten thousand,
For love's redeeming power;
And when we hear His welcome
Beyond the rolling sea,
His love thro' endless ages
Our sweetest song shall be!
