Re: [HANASHIR:7253] Re: Thanksgiving songsThere's a fantastic David Roth song 
called "May the light of love".
It begins:

As we gather round and take our places at the table
A moment to remember and reflect upon our wealth
Here's to loving friends and family
Here's to being able
To gather here together in good company and health

The chorus goes:
May the light of love be shining deep within your spirit
May the torch of mercy clear the path and show the way
May the horn of plenty sound so everyone can hear it
May the light of love be with you every day.

there are more verses, too.
I believe it can be found in Rise Up Singing.
Abby

  I love Tom Chapin's Thanksgiving Day (does it count if the songwriter is 
Jewish?)

  The chorus goes:

  Thanks for our home, thanks for our hearth
  And the bounty that grows from the ground
  With our loved ones near, we bless the year
  That's brought us safely 'round.

  The verses are how we've evolved from farmers to shoppers and now it is our 
responsibility to help the hungry, the poor and the homeless, so all may be 
able to say:
  Thanks for our home....

  You can find it on his "Mother Earth" tape/CD - it has wonderful songs on it, 
as do all his CDs.
