  Norman Rockwell, Freedom From Want

  Now with thanksgiving we bring on this day
  Our praise to the Father, who formed us of clay,
  Whose breath of creation, our spirits to fill,
  Refashioned our loving to live by His will.

  Now with thanksgiving we bring in this place
  Acclaim to the Spirit, who guides us in grace
  Unto the Redeemer, whose sacrifice shown
  Provides us a pattern of love for our own.

  May our hosannas returning above
  Bring joy to the One who has brought us our love,
  May we to each other in gratitude give
  New psalms of thanksgiving in lives that we live.

  Borghild Jacobson, alt.
  Tune Slane (same as Be Thou My Vision)
