Thanksgiving Hymn
Thank you for our mountains, their peaks so tall and fair
Thank you for our prairies, their dusty golden air
Thank you for our waters, the rivers, lakes and streams
Thank you for our smoothing sands and for the deep blue sea
Thank you for our forests, the maples pines and more
Oaks and birches tower above the mossy floor
Thank you for our tundras, those lichens clinging long
The rain, the snow, the lightning bolts, that shine from heav'n above
Thank you for our cities, those points of metal gleam
Thank you for our railroads; electric, diesel, steam
Thank you for our airplanes; those grand jetliners soar
The thinking, dreaming, weighing mind; creating ever more
Thank you for our bounty: our veggies and our meats
All the living creatures; our friends and noble feast
Thank you for our laughter, our tears and furrowed brows
Thank you for the strength to love, the courage to know how
