Give Thanks and Remember

Hello hymn lovers! As it is the Thanksgiving season, I have been digging up some of my old Thanksgiving hymns. However, there is one particular song which I cannot find, but I know exists. The lyrics go something like "One man's dying and rising is another man's bread and wine." I think the name of the hymn is "Give Thanks and Remember" however, upon doing an exhaustive Internet search, I have found no lyrics for a hymn bearing that name. So it is possible it may be titled something else. If anyone could enlighten me, and share their knowledge of this hymn, I would be deeply grateful. I also apologize if someone else in this forum has already posted a question about the same hymn and receieved a similar answer. Thank you for your patience and understanding, and God Bless!

I did the same search as you. That is indeed the name of the hymn. As a child my granny taught it to me. In church they sang it one day and I leaned over and asked her when she taught it to the whole church. Now I'm trying to find it so my son can hear it.

Finally found it! Here are the lyrics. Words and music are by Jack Miffleton.

Chorus

Give thanks and remember; Here is a living sign:
That one man's dying and rising becomes our bread and win.

1.
As long as we are God's people
And earth has fruit to give
So long will God be our Father;
Thank God for all that lives.

2.
As long as we live for each other,
Planting the words of the Son,
So long will God be our Father;
Thank God for all he's done.

3.
God tends the pines and the sparrows,
And knows us and all our ways,
And God is the source of our life and love;
Thank God with simple praise.

God bless!
Steve

I tried finding this song with the title also. Had to finally type in "Give thanks and remember, he is our living God. Where one man's dying and rising" and it brought me to this site! I love this hymn and would like to sing it during our communion. Thank you for posting it.

Here is the good news. I just posted this song on YouTube. Go to Robert Koerner - Give Thanks and Remember.

I always thought it sounded like a pirate song.
