Anthem for Thanksgiving by Stephen Jenks — Lyrics
Come, let us sing a new made song,
A new made song unto the Lord,
Let us make a joyful noise,
A joyful noise unto our God,
The rock of our salvation.
Bring hither the timbrel and the pleasant harp,
Blow, the trumpet.
For the lord hath redeemed Jacob
and glorified himself in Israel.
Hallelujah!
Praise the Lord, O my soul,
And let the earth be glad
And praise the Lord.
For his salvation is nigh to them
that fear his holy name.
Hallelujah! Praise the Lord,
While angels praise their God above
