Lutheran Hymn Project - In Our Day of Thanksgiving

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
