for Thanksgiving
This coming week Americans will be commemorating Thanksgiving, first celebrated by the Pilgrim
Fathers in the 17th century. It's a time of particular importance to those living away from home. In tonight's Songs of Praise, Americans in London have come together to sing their songs of Thanksgiving and talk to
Cliff Michelmore about their faith and their experiences away from the United States. Among them are
Charles H. Price , the American
Ambassador, Jennifer Jenkins , a high school student, and Colonel Donald Waltman , a fighter pilot who was a prisoner of war in North Vietnam for six years. I will sing, I will sing; Magic penny; Amazing grace; Because of who you are: Mine eyes have seen the glory (Battle Hymn): Be still my soul
(Finlandia); America the beautiful (Materna)
