'Tis the time of bundled sheaves

Of oats, rye and wheat

Of canning and corn husking

And apples purely sweet

We welcome our Thanksgiving

As the sun's warmth slowly fades

We have finished our yearly harvest

With our sweat and sickle blades

Blessed by nature's goodness

We give thanks to the ripe lands

With peach cider, wine and herbs

Wild barley and pecans

We celebrate our bounty

As we embrace the deep Fall

And to our great Creator

We give thanks above all

Together let us join our hands

On this Thanksgiving Day.

Let us join our hearts as well

As we bow our heads to pray.

Give thanks for friends and family

For food that He has supplied.

All the wondrous things He's done,

And the needs He does provide.

If we hear of someone lonely

Let's ask them our food to share.

Tell them about our Father's love,

And show them that we care. 

I'll be thinking of YOU! this day

Of Thanksgiving days gone past.

The memories of your friendship

In my heart will forever last.
