32. 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 this world rejoices;
who from our parents' arms
has 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;
the one eternal God,
whom earth and heaven adore,
for thus it was, is now,
and shall be evermore.
