"We Gather Together"

A recent article in the Wall Street Journal on the history of the Thanksgiving hymn "We Gather Together" noted that the hymn, originally brought to the U.S. by Dutch settlers, got its "big break" in American popularity when it was included in the 1935 Methodist Hymnal (a joint production of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Methodist Episcopal Church South, and Methodist Protestant Church before their 1939 merger). Other mainline Protestant hymnals soon followed suit.

Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!
