Rh A&mdash;"A" do I bring and put in place,

&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;Helping a little; see?

&emsp;&emsp;God is well pleased with little thanks

&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;From little girls like me.

N&mdash;"N" comes the next, and here am I,

&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;Rosy and full of glee;

&emsp;&emsp;I thank our God that through this year

&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;Good health was given me.

K&mdash;"K" is for our King and Lord,

&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;Who made and clothed the earth;

&emsp;&emsp;To him we offer praise and thanks.

&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;For aJl that it brings forth.

S&mdash;Each one of us must do his part,

&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;"S" is the letter that I bring.

&emsp;&emsp;Hang it up so all can see

&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;That I, too, thank the King.

G&mdash;"G" comes now to do her part

&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;And say her little prayer,

&emsp;&emsp;'Tis this: "Oh Lord I thank thee

&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;For all thy love and care."

I&mdash;I am quite small, but you'll agree

&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;Small boys to great men grow.

&emsp;&emsp;Even now I can thank the Lord

&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;For grain which we plant and mow.

V&mdash;"V" stands for vines, once graceful and green,

&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;That waved in the summer breeze;

&emsp;&emsp;Now they are yellow, but here is the fruit.

&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;My prayer is, "I thank Thee for these."

I&mdash;Another "I" now doth appear,

&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;Tenth in the list he ranks.

&emsp;&emsp;Gladly he does his little part,

&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;In the evening "giving of thanks."

N&mdash;Now nearly finished is the word

&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;That tells why we are here;

&emsp;&emsp;I hope that all, when we are done.

&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;Will thank our Lord so dear.

G&mdash;God our Father, Savior, King,

&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;Accept our grateful praise,

&emsp;&emsp;For all the good that we have known

&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;Of life and length of days.

All&mdash;"Thanksgiving" is the motto bright.

&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;We have now made for you;

&emsp;&emsp;Dear friends, lift up your hearts,&mdash;

&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;'Tis what all men should do.
