Now thank we all our God,
1. Now
thank we all our God,
with
heart and hands and voices,
who
wondrous things has done,
in
whom this world rejoices;
who
from our mothers' arms
has
blessed us on our way
with
countless gifts of love,
and
still is ours today.
2. O
may this bounteous God
through
all our life be near us,
with
ever joyful hearts
and
blessed peace to cheer us;
and
keep us still in grace,
and
guide us when perplexed;
and
free us from all ills,
in
this world and the next.
3. All
praise and thanks to God
the
Father now be given;
the
Son, and him who reigns
with
them in highest heaven;
the
one eternal God,
whom
earth and heaven adore;
for
thus it was, is now,
and
shall be evermore.
