535. Now Thank We All Our God

1 Now thank we all our God,
With hearts, and hands, and voices,
Who wondrous things has done,
In whom the world rejoices;
Who from our mother's arms
Has blest 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;
And keep us in his grace,
And guide us when perplexed,
And free us from all ills
In this world and the next.

3 All praise and thanks to God
The Father now be given,
The Son and Spirit blest,
Who reigns in highest heaven:
The one eternal God,
Whom heaven and earth adore;
For thus it was, is now
And shall be, evermore.
