A gentle solo based on “Slane”, a familiar Irish folk tune for Thanksgiving. The accompaniment surrounds the melody but is not difficult.
Lyrics
In mercy in goodness, how great is our King;
Our tribute Thanksgiving, with glad hears we bring.
Thou art the renewer the Ancient of Days,
Who givest, for mourning the garments of praise.
We thank Thee for work in the wide harvest field,
For gladness that ripens when sorrow is healed;
Made strong with Thy goodness that meets every need,
We gather the fruit of the Sower’s good seed.
Dear Father and Saviour, we thank Thee for life,
And courage that rises undaunted by strife,
For confident giving and giving’s reward,
For beauty and love in the life of our Lord.
