396: Now thank we all our God
1 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.
2 O may this bounteous God
through all our life be near us!
with ever-joyful hearts
and blessed peace to cheer us;
to keep us in his grace,
and guide us when perplexed,
and free us from all ills
in this world in 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,
eternal, Triune God,
whom earth and heaven adore;
for thus it was, is now,
and shall be, evermore.
