Thanksgiving Prayer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Thanksgiving Prayer" is a song from The Magic of Lassie. It was spoke/sung by legendary Hollywood actor, Jimmy Stewart and is featured in the score of the motion picture. It was written by the Sherman Brothers. This song marks one of the rare musical performances of Stewart's career. The music from the film was arranged and supervised by Irwin Kostal.

[edit] Placement in the film

Stewart performs the song at the penultimate moment of the film, when he has just gotten word that Lassie may in fact be dead. It is a prayer of grace preceding the Clovises' Thanksgiving day meal.
