In this special episode of HIS Story Through Hymns, we continue our gratitude theme for November with the timeless hymn Come, Ye Thankful People, Come. Join me as I share a personal story about how Thanksgiving services have become one of my favorite times of worship, prayer, and testimony in Baptist churches.

We'll explore the fascinating history behind this hymn, its author, Henry Alford, and the circumstances that inspired its creation. We'll also dive into the scriptural foundations of the hymn and how its message of thanksgiving and gathering remains as relevant today as ever.

To conclude, we’ll listen to a beautiful rendition of the hymn performed in St. George's Windsor—the place where this hymn's tune was born. Be sure to stay tuned for this moving performance!
