In Our Day of Thanksgiving Lyrics

In our day of thanksgiving one psalm let us offer

For the saints who before us have found the reward

When the shadow of death fell upon them, we sorrowed

But now we rejoice that they rest in the Lord

In the morning of life, and at noon, and at evening

They were gathered to heav'n from our worship below

But not till God's love, at the font and and the altar

Had clothed them with grace for the way they should go

These stones that have echoed their praises are holy

And dear is the ground where their feet have once trod

Yet here they confessed they were strangers and pilgrims

And still they were seeking the city of God

Sing praise, then, and thanks that God's love here has found them

Whose journey is ended, whose perils are past

They believed in the light; and its glory is round them

Where the clouds of earth's sorrows are lifted at last
