An exerpt from the book, Thanksgiving A Time to Remember by Barbara Rainey (page 26).
“After sixty-five days at sea from Plymouth (a total of ninety-seven days from the first launch at Southhampton), the Pilgrims caught a glimpse of their destination, the new land where God would be worshiped freely and — in time– where freedom would flourish. Shouting for joy and falling to their knees to pray, they celebrated by reading Psalm 100:
Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth.
Serve the Lord wtih gladness;
Come before Him with joyful singing.
Know that the Lord Himself is God;
It is He who has made us,
and not we ourselves;
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
Enter His gates with thanksgiving,
And His courts with praise.
Give thanks to Him; bless His name.
For the Lord is good;
His lovingkindness is everlasting,
And His faithfulness to all generations.”
