Let us thank the Lord together
For the mercies of His hand;
Once again the crown of plenty
Blesses all this happy land:
Gracious, are the Father's ways,
Let us bring Him comely praise.
Though our faults have cried in heaven
For His vengeance on our head,
Yet hath He preserved unbroken
For our good the staff of bread:
God of patience is He named,
Loud His praises be proclaimed!
Give us grace, Lord, in receiving
Bounteous gifts of Thy left hand,
Lest we may forget the riches
Of another, better land:
May each precious soul be fed
With the true and living Bread!
