120. Give Thanks, All Ye People

1 Give thanks, all ye people, give thanks to the Lord,
Alleluias of freedom with joyful accord;
Let the East and the West, North and South roll along,
Sea, mountain, and prairie, one thanksgiving song.

Chorus:
Give thanks, all ye people, give thanks to the Lord,
Alleluias of freedom with joyful accord.

2 For the sunshine and rainfall, enriching again
Our acres in myriads with treasures of grain;
For the Earth still unloading her manifold wealth,
For the Skies beaming vigor, the Winds breathing health. [Chorus]

3 In the Domes of Messiah, ye worshiping throngs,
Solemn litanies mingle with jubilant songs;
The Ruler of Nations beseeching to spare,
And our Union to keep the Elect of His care. [Chorus]

4 Our guilt and transgressions remember no more;
Peace, Lord! righteous Peace, as Thy gift we adore,
And the Banner of Union, restored by Thy Hand,
Be the Banner of Freedom o’er all in the Land. [Chorus]
