We sang it as part of my school's Thanksgiving celebration, when all the grades from kindergarten through 12th would gather for a communal meal. Hearing it sung in parts (and being a part of it), by 100+ voices of all ages, made quite an impression on me...
So, where can I get a copy of The Friends Hymnal?
