637. 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 his world rejoices;
Who from our mothers' 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;
Preserve us in his grace,
And guide us in distress,
And free us from all harm
Till heaven we possess.

3 All praise and thanks to God
The Father now be given,
The Son, and him who reigns
With them in highest heaven–
The one eternal God,
Whom earth and heav'n adore–
For thus it was, is now,
And shall be evermore.
