Unto Thee, O God, do we give thanks.
Psalm 75:1
Words: Laura F. Armitage, in Holiday Songs, 9th edition, by A. Emilie Poulsson (Springfield, Massachusetts: Milton Bradley, 1912), page 77.
Music: Piccadilly Mildred J. Hill (🔊 pdf nwc).
If you know where to get a good photo of Armitage (head & shoulders, at least 200×300 pixels),
In the still November,
Like a sunbeam bright,
Comes the glad Thanksgiving,
Full of joy’s own light.
Refrain
Let us thank the Father
For the gifts He sends;
For our loving parents,
Happy home and friends.
Now at home’s dear fireside,
Many a loving band
Meets in joy together,
In this happy land.
Refrain
And tho’ we, rejoicing,
Taste Thanksgiving’s cheer,
’Tis the happy home-love
Makes the time so dear.
