Hollering for help, ministers and priests and rabbis!
I bet ten bucks some of you are putting together orders of worship for interfaith Thanksgiving services, right? Me, too. We will have representatives from the Unitarian Universalist, Jewish, Muslim, United Church of Christ (Congregationalist), Episcopal, and Spiritualist communities. I have participated in many such services over the years but my own files seem to be curiously bereft of liturgical specimens. Would you be so kind as to share yours or to make recommendations in the comments?

is a good one for interfaith
This is my song, O God of all the nations,
a song of peace for lands afar and mine.
This is my home, the country where my heart is;
here are my hopes, my dreams, my holy shrine;
but other hearts in other lands are beating
with hopes and dreams as true and high as mine.
My country’s skies are bluer than the ocean,
and sunlight beams on cloverleaf and pine;
but other lands have sunlight too, and clover,
and skies are everywhere as blue as mine.
O hear my song, thou God of all the nations,
a song of peace for their land and for mine.
