Let All Things Now Living

There is so much to be thankful for. I don't even know where to begin.

God has once again brought me a very long way since last year. 
My parents, my family, and all of my friends are all so amazing.
U of I has been such a wonderful experience.
I get the opportunity to go to India
I have a house, I warm bed... and on and on.

I love Thanksgiving. It definitely makes you think.

             ~~~
Let all things now living
A song of thanksgiving
To God the creator
Triumphantly raise.
Who fashioned and made us,
Protected and stayed us,
Who still guides us on
To the end of our days.
God's banners are o'er us,
His light goes before us,
A pillar of fire
Shining forth in the night.
'Til shadows have vanished
And darkness is banished
As forward we travel
From light into light.

His law he enforces,
The stars in their courses
And sun in its orbit
Obediently shine;
The hills and the mountains,
The rivers and fountains,
The deeps of the ocean
Proclaim him divine.
We too should be voicing
Our love and rejoicing;
With glad adoration
A song let us raise
Till all things now living
Unite in thanksgiving:
"To God in the highest,
Hosanna and praise!"


In Christ
