Thanksgiving Hymn Story: Bountiful Harvest

This is a beautiful Thanksgiving hymn, which has often been forgotten and overlooked.

The hymn is often known as “We Praise Thee O Lord For The Bountiful Harvest“.

The hymn was written by famed hymnists, Fanny Crosby.

Fanny Crosby wrote well over 8,000 hymns and is considered a prolific hymnists. She was blinded at the age of six weeks and later stated she looked forward to the first person she would see being the face of Jesus Christ.
