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.
