• For the beauty of the earth

"For the beauty of the earth,
for the glory of the skies,
for the love which from our birth
over and around us lies;
Lord of all, to thee we raise
this our hymn of grateful praise.

For the beauty of each hour
of the day and of the night,
hill and vale, and tree and flower,
sun and moon, and stars of light;
Lord of all, to thee we raise
this our hymn of grateful praise.

For the joy of ear and eye,
for the heart and mind's delight,
for the mystic harmony,
linking sense to sound and sight;
Lord of all, to thee we raise
this our hymn of grateful praise.

For the joy of human love,
brother, sister, parent, child,
friends on earth and friends above,
for all gentle thoughts and mild;
Lord of all, to thee we raise
this our hymn of grateful praise.

For thy church, that evermore
lifteth holy hands above,
offering upon every shore
her pure sacrifice of love;
Lord of all, to thee we raise
this our hymn of grateful praise.

For thyself, best Gift Divine,
to the world so freely given,
for that great, great love of thine,
peace on earth, and joy in heaven:
Lord of all, to thee we raise
this our hymn of grateful praise."
-Lyrics by Folliot S. Pierpoint

• All things bright and beautiful

"All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful:
The Lord God made them all.
(Refrain)

Each little flower that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
God made their glowing colors,
And made their tiny wings.
(Refrain)

The purple-headed mountains,
The river running by,
The sunset and the morning
That brightens up the sky.
(Refrain)

The cold wind in the winter,
The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden:
God made them every one.
(Refrain)

God gave us eyes to see them,
And lips that we might tell
How great is God Almighty,
Who has made all things well.
(Refrain)"
-Words based on Genesis 1:31 by Cecil Frances Alexander

Thanksgiving Children Song:

• Every Day Is Thanksgiving

"When I have turkey to eat and stuffin' and pumpkin pie
Then I know it's Thanksgiving Day and I'm gonna tell you why
‘Cause there's so much to eat and the people I love are near
That is why Thanksgiving Day is my favorite time of the year

But I don't need turkey to eat or stuffin' or pumpkin pie
To make each day Thanksgiving Day and I'm gonna tell you why
‘Cause if there's food to eat and the people I love are near
Then it is Thanksgiving Day every day of the year"
-Karen Rupprecht & Pam Minor
