@mkl62 I have wondered whether Lutherans often sing this hymn of the Reformed tradition. I grew up Baptist in North Carolina, and we always sang this hymn at Thanksgiving. The vivid imagery of harvest and approaching winter was always so wonderful for me. It put words to our experience. As I've gotten older, I've come to love the eschatological imagery of this hymn that we sing right on the threshold of Advent.
I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. Tonight (November 21), I attended a Thanksgiving Service at a local Baptist Church. We opened the service with this hymn.
A wonderful post! Thank you ...

We generally sing this hymn when we have Thanksgiving Service at my church. We will have it next year (November 23, 2011).

I'm in the U.S. but I consider this THE hymn of the Thanksgiving holiday too.
