Another song in the THANKSGIVING section of the Glory to God Presbyterian Hymnal is Thankful Hearts and Voices Raise. It is a simple, single-stanza song. The hymnal editors share this comment about the song’s inclusion:
This canticle for use at the close of worship comes from Evangelical Lutheran Worship (2006) and is included here in honor of the full communion agreement between the Presbyterian Church (USA) and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. It concludes with echoes of Isaiah 55:12.
Thankful hearts and voices riase;
Tell everyone what God has done.
Let everyone who seeks the Lord
Rejoice and bear the name of Christ.
Send us with your promises
And lead your people forth in joy
With shouts of thanksgiving.
Alleluia, alleluia.
Prayer
May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God the Father, and the communion and fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us now, and forevermore. Amen.
