A Thanksgiving Prayer

A Thanksgiving Prayer is a traditional hymn of gratitude believed to trace back to 17th-century Dutch and early colonial American traditions. Its words reflect the simple, steadfast faith of settlers who gave thanks for survival, harvest, and providence through hardship. This prayer entered the fabric of early American worship, carried in various forms through Dutch Reformed, Puritan, and early Protestant hymnals. Though its exact origin is uncertain, its spirit of humility and thankfulness has endured for centuries – a reminder of how gratitude was sung long before it was celebrated as a holiday. This performance follows that lineage: plain and devotional, rooted in the earliest expressions of thanksgiving in the New World. #Thanksgiving #TraditionalHymn #EarlyAmericanMusic #JasonPaul #FolkSong
