Though our mouths were full of song as the sea, and our tongues of exultation as the multitude of its waves,and our lips of praise as the wide-extended firmament;though our eyes shone with light like the sun and the moon,and our hands were spread forth like the eagles of heaven,and our feet were swift as hinds,we should still be unable to thank thee and bless thy name,O Lord our God and God of our fathers,for one thousandth or one ten thousandth part of the bounties which thou has bestowed upon our fathers and upon us.

A Thanksgiving Day prayer
O Lord, with humble hearts we pray Thy blessing this Thanksgiving DayAnd ask that at table place,Where grateful folk say words of grace,That Thou will come to share the yieldThy bounty gave to farm and field.We pray thy love will bless, O Lord,Each hearth, each home, each festive board;And that Thy peace will come to stayWhere candles glow, Thanksgiving Day.
