"The Lord has done great things for us, and we are glad indeed! (Ps.126:4)"

The First Thanksgiving at Plymouth" (1914) By Jennie A. Brownscombe-PD-US

The Collect:

Almighty and gracious Father, we give you thanks for the fruits of the earth in their season and for the labors of those who harvest them. Make us, we pray, faithful stewards of your great bounty, for the provision of our necessities and the relief of all who are in need, to the glory of your Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Psalm 126 Page 782, BCP

In convertendo

1

When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, *
then were we like those who dream.

2

Then was our mouth filled with laughter, *
and our tongue with shouts of joy.

3

Then they said among the nations, *
"The LORD has done great things for them."

4

The LORD has done great things for us, *
and we are glad indeed.

5

Restore our fortunes, O LORD, *
like the watercourses of the Negev.

6

Those who sowed with tears *
will reap with songs of joy.

7

Those who go out weeping, carrying the seed, *
will come again with joy, shouldering their sheaves.
