Refrain: All good gifts around us Are sent from heaven above; Then thank the Lord, O thank the Lord For all His love. 2 He only is the Maker Of all things near and far; He paints the wayside flower, He lights the evening star; The winds and waves obey him, By him the birds are fed; Much more to us, his children, He gives our daily bread. [Refrain] 3 We thank thee, then, O Father, For all things bright and good, The seed-time and the harvest, Our life, our health, our food: Accept the gifts we offer, For all thy love imparts, And, that thou most desirest, Our humble, thankful hearts.

Once More the Liberal Year Laughs Out

Author: John Greenleaf Whittier Hymnal: H4BG1935 #28 (1936) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Once more the liberal year laughs out O'er richer stores than gems or gold; Once more, with harvest-song and shout, Is nature's bloodless triumph told. 2 O favors every year made new! O blessings with the sunshine sent! The bounty overruns our due, The fullness shames our discontent. 3 We shut our eyes, the flowers bloom on; We murmur, but the corn ears fill; We choose the shadow, but the sun That casts it, shines behind us still. 4 Now let these altars, wreathed with flowers And piled with fruits, awake again Thanksgiving for the golden hours, The early and the latter rain. Amen. Topics: Thanksgiving Tune Title: MELANESIA

O Little Town of Bethlehem

Author: Phillips Brooks Hymnal: H4BG1935 #29 (1936) Meter: 8.6.8.6.7.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O little town of Bethlehem, How still we see thee lie! Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by; Yet in thy dark streets shineth The everlasting Light; The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight. 2 For Christ is born of Mary, And gathered all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wondering love. O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birth, And praises sing to God the King And peace to men on earth. 3 How silently, how silently, The wondrous gift is given! So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of his heaven. No ear may hear his coming, But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive him, still The dear Christ enters in. 4 O holy Child of Bethlehem, Descend to us, we pray; Cast out our sin, and enter in; Be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Emmanuel. Amen. Topics: Christmas Tune Title: ST. LOUIS
