Thanksgiving Blessings
3 Original Table Blessings to Say on Thanksgiving Day by Patricia Gore, Ethel Faye Grzanich, Jane Crewdson ThoughtCo Updated November 22, 2017 These Thanksgiving blessings are Christian prayers for sharing at your table. Consider saying these simple and straightforward blessings with your family on Thanksgiving Day and enjoy a beautiful meal with friends and family. THANKSGIVING TABLE BLESSINGBy Patricia Gore Thank You, God For the food we are about to eat, For those who are here To share these blessings, For the generosity of our hosts That make this possible. Bless those who are here And those who are in our hearts, And all those who are not As fortunate on this day. Amen. --- WE GIVE THANKS TO YOU By Ethel Faye Grzanich As we bow our heads to pray, we give thanks to you God, for this Thanksgiving Day. We thank you, Father, for our families, friends, and for all the blessings, both big and small, that you pour out on us each day. We give thanks to you for this food and for the hands that have prepared it. We ask your blessings upon this meal: that it will nourish our bodies and refresh our souls. We give thanks to you for this wonderful time together, and for each one present here today. We ask you, dear Lord, let each one of us feel your love, comfort, and presence in our lives today and every day. Let us not forget those who can't be here with us today. We give thanks to you for them, too. We miss our loved ones, Lord, but we are thankful for all the good times that we had with them. We know, Lord, that this life is not all there is; that the best is yet to come if we live for you. So, help us each day to live our lives in ways that honor and please you. And we'll not forget to give you all the praise and glory. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen. --- I THANK THEE" I Thank Thee" is a beautiful Thanksgiving prayer. This Christian poem was originally written by Jane Crewdson (1860) as a prayer of thankfulness to God for all things in life, both the good and the bad, the bitter and the sweet. The poem has also been put to song in a hymn. Alternate titles for this work are "O Thou, Whose Bounty," and "At All Times." I Thank Thee O Thou whose bounty fills my cup, With every blessing meet! I give Thee thanks for every drop-- The bitter and the sweet. I praise Thee for the desert road, And for the riverside; For all Thy goodness hath bestowed, And all Thy grace denied. I thank Thee for both smile and frown, And for the gain and loss; I praise Thee for the future crown And for the present cross. I thank Thee for both wings of love Which stirred my worldly nest; And for the stormy clouds which drove Me, trembling, to Thy breast. I bless Thee for the glad increase, And for the waning joy; And for this strange, this settled peace Which nothing can destroy. --- Happy Thanksgiving! read more |
