American Thanksgiving Day this year coincides with the 25th of November; the Feast of Catherine the Great Martyr on the Orthodox calendar and the Commemoration of the Hymnographer Isaac Watts on the LBW calendar.
Here is a little gem by Watt:
COME, SOUND HIS PRAISE ABROAD
a paraphrase of Psalm 95
Isaac Watts
SM; Tune: ST. THOMAS
Come, sound his praise abroad
And hymns of glory sing
Je-ho-vah is the sov’reign God,
The un-i-ver-sal King.
He formed the deeps unknown;
And gave the seas their bound;
The wat’ry world are all his alone
And all the solid ground.
Come, worship at his throne
Come, bow before the Lord;
We are his works, and not our own;
He formed us by his word.
To-day attend his voice,
Nor dare provoke his rod;
Come, like the people of his choice,
And own your gracious God
