Author: Martin Rinkart; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Glory to God #643 (2013) Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Scripture: 2 Thessalonians 2 Lyrics: 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 mothers' arms,
hath 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;
and keep us in God's 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,
who reigns in highest heaven,
to Father and to Son
and Spirit now be given:
the one eternal God,
whom heaven and earth adore,
the God who was, and is,
and shall be evermore. Topics: Aging; Grace; Thanksgiving; The Triune God; Wedding Languages: English Tune Title: NUN DANKET ALLE GOTT
