1 Now thank we all our God With heart and hands and voices, Who wondrous things has 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 gracious God Through all our life be near us, With ever joyful hearts And blessèd peace to cheer us; Preserve us in his grace, And guide us in distress, And free us from all sin, Till heaven we possess. 3 All praise and thanks to God, The Father now be given, The Son, and Spirit blest, Who reigns in highest heaven, Eternal, Triune God, Whom earth and heav'n adore; For thus it was, is now, And shall be evermore.
