487. 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 mother's arms,
Hath blessed us on our way
With countless gifts of love,
And still is ours today.

2 We know our bounteous God,
Will all our life be near us,
With ever joyful hearts
His blessed peace will cheer us;
And keeps us by His grace,
And guides us when perplexed,
He frees us from all ills
In this world and the next.

3 All praise and thanks to God
The Father now be given,
The Son, Who rose and lives,
And sits in highest heaven,
Our God, eternal is
Whom earth and heaven adore;
Now we by grace are His
And shall be evermore.
