Christian Thanksgiving Songs

All Things Bright and Beautiful

All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful:
The Lord God made them all.

Each little flower that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
God made their glowing colors,
And made their tiny wings.

The purple-headed mountains,
The river running by,
The sunset and the morning
That brightens up the sky.

The cold wind in the winter,
The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden:
God made them every one.

God gave us eyes to see them,
And lips that we might tell
How great is God Almighty,
Who has made all things well.

Give Thanks
by Pam Minor

Let's give thanks thanks for what we've got
Whether it's a little or a lot a lot a lot
It may be something simple maybe not
But never take for granted what we've got

I'm Thankful
by Jack Hartmann

When I wake up in the morning and I breathe in the air
I'm thankful, I'm thankful
When someone gives me a hug and shows that me they care, hug, hug
I'm thankful, I'm thankful
When I look all around at the colors I see - round and round
I'm thankful, I'm thankful
When I wake up in the morning, when someone gives me a hug, hug, hug
When I look all around ? round and round, I'm thankful today
When a cute little puppy wags his tail for me - wag, wag
I'm thankful, I'm thankful
When I pledge to the flag for our country that's free
I pledge allegiance, I'm thankful, I'm thankful
When I eat good food with my family and friends - mmm, mmm
I'm thankful, I'm thankful
When a puppy wags its tail - wag, wag
When I pledge to the flag - I pledge allegiance
When I eat good food - mmm, mmm
I'm thankful today, I'm thankful today

Now Thank We All our God

Now thank we all our God,
With heart and hands and voices,
Who wondrous things has done,
In whom this world rejoices;
Who from our mothers' arms
Has blessed us on our way
With countless gifts of love,
And still is ours today.

O may this bounteous God
Through all our life be near us,
With ever joyful hearts
And blessed peace to cheer us;
And keep us still in grace,
And guide us when perplexed;
And free us from all ills,
In this world and the next.

All praise and thanks to God
The Father now be given;
The Son, and him who reigns
With them in highest heaven;
The one eternal God,
Whom earth and heaven adore;
For thus it was, is now,
And shall be evermore.

We Gather Together

We gather together to ask the Lord's blessing;
He chastens and hastens his will to make known;
The wicked oppressing now cease from distressing,
Sing praises to his name: He forgets not his own.

Beside us to guide us, our God with us joining,
Ordaining, maintaining his kingdom divine;
So from the beginning the fight we were winning;
Thou, Lord, wast at our side, All glory be thine!

We all do extol thee, thou leader triumphant,
And pray that thou still our defender wilt be.
Let thy congregation escape tribulation;
Thy name be ever praised! O Lord, make us free!

Songs for Children

Five Little Turkeys

5 little turkeys standing by door,
One waddled off, and then there were 4.
4 little turkeys under a tree,
One waddled off, and then there were 3.
3 little turkeys with nothing to do,
One waddled off, and then there were 2.
2 little turkeys in the noon day sun,
One waddled off, and then there was 1.
One little turkey better run away,
For soon will come Thanksgiving day.

First Americans, and So Proud
Barbara Speicher

Indians lived way before you and me
In forests, deserts, plains, and near seas;
Learning to live with what was at hand,
Making their clothing and homes from the land.

Hear those drums...they're beating loud,
"First Americans, and so proud"
Hear those drums...they're beating loud,
"First Americans, and so proud"

Iroquois lived in the Eastern Woods...
Cheyenne planted corn on the Plains...
Navajo in the Desert Southwest...
We can learn much from the Indian way...
First Americans and so proud,
and so proud...and so proud.

Mr. Turkey Song

I heard Mr. Turkey say,
Gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble,
Soon it will be Thanksgiving day,
Gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble,
People say that it's much fun,
But I think I'll run and run
And hide until the day is done,
Gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble,

Some of these songs entertain you, some teach you about the traditions associated with this day, while others are meant to show one's gratitude to Lord. So, sing or play them throughout the thanksgiving day and celebrate this special day in a fun way!
