We Give You Thanks

A new Thanksgiving hymn…


illustration from Catholic Review

Lord, we're grateful for Your goodness.
We give You thanks.
For Your grace and loving kindness,
we give you thanks.
For protection while we slumber
and for blessings without number,
autumn, winter, spring and summer,
we give You thanks.

Lord, we're grateful for our nation.
We give You thanks.
For the beauty of creation,
we give You thanks.
For Your church and for our parish,
family, friends and those we cherish,
and Your love that cannot perish,
we give You thanks.

Lord, we're grateful You're forgiving.
We give You thanks.
For our lives well worth the living,
we give You thanks.
For the promise of forever
and a bond that none can sever.
Knowing You will fail us never,
we give You thanks.

The above lyrics can be sung to the tune for "All Through the Night."
