Come and Give Thanks Download

Call to Worship

Our God will supply all our needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus, and we know if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.

So as we gather, let’s praise Jehovah Jireh – our God who provides.

Worship Leader:
Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD;
Let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.
Let us come before Him with thanksgiving
and make a joyful noise with music and song.

Congregation:
For the LORD has done great things for us,
and we are filled with His joy.

Come, Ye Thankful People, Come
Words by Henry Alford (1884); Music: ST. GEORGE’S WINDSOR

Come, ye thankful people, come, raise the song of harvest home; 
all is safely gathered in, ere the winter storms begin. 
God our Maker doth provide for our wants to be supplied; 
come to God's own temple, come, raise the song of harvest home. 

All the world is God's own field, fruit as praise to God we yield; 
wheat and tares together sown are to joy or sorrow grown; 
first the blade and then the ear, then the full corn shall appear; 
Lord of harvest, grant that we, wholesome grain and pure may be. 

For the Lord our God shall come, and shall take the harvest home; 
from the field shall in that day all offenses purge away, 
giving angels charge at last in the fire the tares to cast; 
but the fruitful ears to store in the garner evermore. 

Even so, Lord, quickly come, bring thy final harvest home; 
gather thou thy people in, free from sorrow, free from sin, 
there, forever purified, in thy presence to abide; 
come, with all thine angels, come, raise the glorious harvest home.

Prayer of Adoration

Praise be to you, O LORD, our God and our Father, from everlasting to everlasting. Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, O LORD, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all.

Wealth and honor come from you; you are the ruler of all things. In your hands are strength and power to exalt and give strength to all.

Now, our God, we give you thanks, and praise your glorious name. Amen.

THANKSGIVING SHARING

My Heart Is Filled With Thankfulness

My heart is filled with thankfulness to Him who bore my pain;
Who plumbed the depths of my disgrace and gave me life again;
Who crushed my curse of sinfulness and clothed me in His light
And wrote His law of righteousness with pow’r upon my heart. 

My heart is filled with thankfulness to Him who walks beside;
Who floods my weaknesses with strength and causes fears to fly;
Whose ev’ry promise is enough for ev’ry step I take,
Sustaining me with arms of love and crowning me with grace.

My heart is filled with thankfulness to Him who reigns above,
Whose wisdom is my perfect peace, whose ev’ry thought is love.
For ev’ry day I have on earth is given by the King;
So I will give my life, my all, to love and follow Him.
