50 Reasons to Be Thankful 

“Joy to the world; the Lord is come;

Let Earth receive her King;

Let ev’ry Heart prepare him room,

And Heav’n and nature sing.

Joy to the Earth, the Savior reigns,

Let men their Songs employ,

While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains,

Repeat the sounding joy.

No more let sins and sorrows grow,

Nor thorns infest the ground;

He comes to make his blessings flow

Far as the curse is found.”

—Isaac Watts
