Show By Helen Welfihinier WE thank Thee, God, again for crops ingathcred; For autumn that fulfilled the green spring's vow, And gave us lavishly of Thy rich bounty; Thou hast not left the earth again we bow Our hearts in gratitude for sun on meadows, And wind in trees, and rain tossed down the night; For kindliness and friends who have not failed us, For open fires, love, laughter, morning light. WE thank Thee, God, for that deep faith implanted Within our hearts that sometime stress will end: That when the time o! tribulation ceases, . Thy gracious Hand, outstretched again, will send The manna and the- guiding posts to lead us, The flame by night, the deep clouds for the day. We thank Thee, through the sorrows that beset us, . We still may know that Thou hast planned our way. WE bring Thee gratitude as once our fathers, New-settled on a barren, lonely shore, ( Sang psalms to Thee, because a quest was finished Their praise becomes our song forevermore. Now in the time when summer seas are faded, When red and gold burn dry the autumn leaves, When Harvest through Thy grace has been accorded, Dear God, we, too, come bringing in our sheaths!
