603. Now Thank We All Our God

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 mother's arms
Has 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 blessed 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.
