Thanks Be To God...A Thanksgiving Hymn

The Mighty Ohio River Overlook Indiana

For the fruits of His creation
Thanks be to God
For the gifts to every nations,
Thanks be to God
For the ploughing, sowing reaping
Silent growth while men are sleeping
Future needs in earth's safe keeping
Thanks be to God

In the just reward of labor
God's will is done
In the help we give our neighbor
God's will is done
In our world wide task of caring
For the hungry and desparing
In the harvests we are sharing
Gods will is done

For the harvests of His Spirit
Thanks be to God
For the good all men inherit
Thanks be to God
For the wonders that astound us
for the truths that still confound us
Most of all that love has found us
Thanks be to God
