NOW THANK WE ALL OUR GOD
Hymn written by Martin Rinckart
Translated by Catherine Winkworth


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 mother's 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 ot cheer us;
And keep us in His grace,
And guide us when perplexed,
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 them in highest heaven-
The one eternal God,
Whom earth and heaven adore;
For this it was, is now,
And shall be evermore.
