Come, Ye Thankful People, Come

Joel Raney offers a slow and reflective setting of this Henry Alford Thanksgiving text. Men begin stanza 1, then the women begin stanza 2.  The piano interlude, prior to stanza 3, alludes to the original tune, then all voices join in a beautifully harmonized and subtle closing stanza. This is not your typical thanksgiving anthem and it will help your choir and congregation to humbly usher in "the song of harvest home."
