Tis the gift to be simple, 'tis the gift to be free
'Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be,
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
'Twill be in the valley of love and delight.
When true simplicity is gain'd,
To bow and to bend we shan't be asham'd,
To turn, turn will be our delight,
'Til by turning, turning we come 'round right.
Ma and Krauss remain my favorite setting of this old Shaker hymn, though there are an increasing number of fantastic options (like this and this and this and this).
A Blessed Thanksgiving to you and yours!
