Come Ye Thankful People Come is one of best-known songs of Thanksgiving. Charles McCartha has encircled that hymn with his own spirited tune. The piano accompaniment is jubilant and the vocal writing pleasing to sing. A great church anthem for Thanksgiving or any general service of praise. Easy to medium in difficulty.
