This beautiful hymn is often associated with the Pilgrims and the first Thanksgiving, but it was written by Adrianus Valerius and first published in the Netherlands in 1631with the Dutch title, "Wilt Heden Nu Treden". The Puritans who left Holland, to come ashore in the New World in 1620, wouldn't have known it.
