Happy Thanksgiving!!\u00a0 Truly, we have MUCH for which to be thankful.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation!
\nO my soul, praise Him, for He is thy health and salvation!
\nAll ye who hear, now to His temple draw near;
\nPraise Him in glad adoration.<\/p>\n

Praise to the Lord, who over all things so wondrously reigneth,
\nShelters thee under His wings, yea, so gently sustaineth!
\nHast thou not seen how thy desires ever have been
\nGranted in what He ordaineth?<\/p>\n

Praise to the Lord, who hath fearfully, wondrously, made thee;
\nHealth hath vouchsafed and, when heedlessly falling, hath stayed thee.
\nWhat need or grief ever hath failed of relief?
\nWings of His mercy did shade thee.<\/p>\n

Praise to the Lord, who doth prosper thy work and defend thee;
\nSurely His goodness and mercy here daily attend thee.
\nPonder anew what the Almighty can do,
\nIf with His love He befriend thee.<\/p>\n

Praise to the Lord, who, when tempests their warfare are waging,
\nWho, when the elements madly around thee are raging,
\nBiddeth them cease, turneth their fury to peace,
\nWhirlwinds and waters assuaging.<\/p>\n

Praise to the Lord, who, when darkness of sin is abounding,
\nWho, when the godless do triumph, all virtue confounding,
\nSheddeth His light, chaseth the horrors of night,
\nSaints with His mercy surrounding.<\/p>\n

Praise to the Lord, O let all that is in me adore Him!
\nAll that hath life and breath, come now with praises before Him.
\nLet the Amen sound from His people again,
\nGladly for aye we adore Him.<\/p>\n
