AMEN.
AND a favorite Thanksgiving Hymn which we sang just this week is one that everyone knows I think
We gather together to ask the Lords Blessing....

Very nice. My first post above was a "hymn"....to be sung.
Actually, we've always let our children say the grace at Thanksgiving.
Now, it's our grandchildren who do the honors.........
A Child's Grace at Meals:
“God is great and God is Good,
And we thank God for our food;
By God's hand we must be fed,
Give us Lord, our daily bread. Amen. “
"Thank you God for all that grows,
Thank you for the sky's rainbows,
Thank you for the stars that shine,
Thank you for these friends of mine,
Thank you for the moon and sun,
Thank you God for all you've done!"
