One of my glorious pleasures in life is playing the piano. I’m no Mozart but I can read music and play most sheet music placed in front of me. I also love Thanksgiving. So, combining my loves of Thanksgiving and piano brings me extra happiness! So here are a few Thanksgiving songs for you to enjoy too! One of my favorite things to do on Christmas or other holidays is to gather people round the piano and sing songs while I play the accompaniment. This is a remnant of my homeschooling days when most of my children were at home, when we did this every day.
First, here’s a little-known Thanksgiving song, called “Hymn of Thanks” by Dorothy Andersen. You can find it here. It’s from the Friend magazine, a publication for children by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, in the November 1978 issue.

Then I love this one from Shawna Belt Edwards, called “Thankful.” It also appeared in the Friend magazine. The sheet music is here. You can watch a video of children singing it here or below.
Thirdly, here’s a song called “My Thanks Today” by Anna Johnson and Nora Hogan, over here. The tune is delightful!
