896. Now Thank We All Our God

1 Now thank we all our God
With heart and hands and voices,
Who wondrous things has done,
In whom this 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 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 blessed
Who reign in highest heaven;
Eternal, triune God,
Whom earth and heav'n adore;
For thus it was, is now,
And shall be evermore.
