The full volume also includes:

We Gather Together to Ask the Lord's Blessing: Written in 1597 by Dutch composer Adrianus Varius to celebrate Holland's victory over Spain, the tune was brought by the early American settlers. Poet Theodore Baker wrote a new version of the lyrics in 1894, which became the standard Thanksgiving version.

Over the River and Through the Wood: Lydia Maria Child, an outspoken abolitionist and advocate for Indian rights, wrote this poem in 1845. It was set to music by an unknown composer. 

Let All Things Now Living: This traditional Welsh melody (Llwyn Onn or The Ash Grove in Welsh) has inspired numerous lyricists to write words to the hauntingly beautiful tune. The poem by Katherine Davis, written in 1939, is the text most associated with Thanksgiving.

This Land is Your Land: A traditional American tune, made famous by folksinger Woody Guthrie in 1940. Guthrie wrote the words as a rebuff to the song God Bless America, the huge hit by songwriter Irving Berlin. As a counter to Berlin's forthrightly drum-beating patriotism, Guthrie would occasionally add politically charged verses expressing his support for communism.
