Now Thank we all Our God

Now thank we all our God

With heart and hands and voices

Who wondrous things hath done

In whom His world rejoices.

Who from our mothers’ arms

Hath blessed us on our way

With countless gifts of love

And still is ours today.

 

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 in His grace

And guide us when perplex’d

And free us from all ills

In this world and the next.

 

All praise and thanks to God

The Father now be given

The Son, and Him Who reigns

With Thee in highest Heaven.

The One Eternal God

Whom earth and Heav’n adore

For thus it was, is now

And shall be evermore.

 

Martin Rinkart 1586 – 1649
