A Time To Gather

With grateful hearts we gather near
To celebrate this day, so dear
Sharing with loved ones, side by side
A grand, abundant feast appears.

To celebrate this day, so dear
We reap a bountiful harvest, here
Sitting together around the table
Soft glow of candle light appears.

Sharing with loved ones, side by side
This blessed moment in our lives
Then holding hands, we bow in prayer
To thank God for all that He provides.

A grand, abundant feast appears
With thankful hearts we shed a tear
The table is spread with tender care
Our bond of love is true and clear.
