Thanksgiving Day Quotes

 

Now thank we all our God,
With hearts and hands and voices;
Who wondrous things hath done,
In whom this world rejoices.
Who, from our mother's arms,
Hath led us on our way,
With countless gifts of love,
And still is ours today.
O may this bounteous God
through all our life be near us,
With ever joyful hearts and
blessed peace to cheer us;
And keep still in grace,
and guide us when perplexed;
And free us from all ills,
in this world and the next.
All praise and thanks to God
the Father now be given;
The Son and Him Who reigns
with Them in highest heaven;
The one eternal God,
Whom earth and heaven adore;
For thus it was, is now,
and shall be evermore.
- Martin Rinkart (1586-1649) Lutheran minister

God gave us our relatives;

is a wonderful day set aside

when no one diets.

Upon a day apart,
To praise the Lord with feast and song
In thankfulness of heart.

black men and white men,
Jews and Gentiles,
Protestants and Catholics,
will be able to join hands and sing ...
Free at last, Free at last,
Thank God Almighty, I'm free at last.
- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Thank God every day
when you get up that
you have something to do that day
which must be done whether you like it or not.
Being forced to work and forced
to do your best will breed in you
temperance and self-control,
diligence and strength of will,
cheerfulness and content,
and a hundred virtues
which the idle will never know.
- Basil Carpenter

Thanksgiving, after all, is a word of action.

I should be very satisfied.'
You make a mistake.
If you are not content with what you have,
you would not be satisfied if it were doubled.
