(I inevitably link Thanksgiving to this traditional 1783 song by Matthias Claudius, sung in schools, kindergartens and services around Thanksgiving time: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yqdgUm9tOfI )

Thanks for the reminder of that lovely hymn. I spent 26 years as a church organist, and it was sung at least 3-4 times a year. Much of the time, it was sung by the congregation (or just our children's choir) while the offering was being taken up, and then we would go right into "Praise God from whom all blessings flow" as the plates were offered up.
