Verse 1
Now thank we all our God,
with hearts, and hands, and voices;
who wondrous things hath done,
in whom His world rejoices;
who from our mothers' arms,
hath blest us on our way
with countless gifts of love,
and still is ours today.
Verse 2
O may this bounteous God
through all our life be near us,
with ever joyful hearts
and blessed peace to cheer us;
to keep us in His grace,
and guide us when perplexed,
and free us from all ills
in this world and the next.
Verse 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 heaven and earth adore;
for thus it was, is now,
and shall be evermore.
