Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1827-1878; Martin Rinkart, 1586-1649 Hymnal: Lutheran Book of Worship #533 (1978) Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Lyrics: 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 mother's arms,
Has blest us on our way
With countless gifts of love,
And still is ours today.
2 Oh, 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 his grace,
And guide us when perplexed,
And free us from all harm
In this world and the next.
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. Topics: Close of Service; Praise, Adoration; Day of Thanksgiving Languages: English Tune Title: NUN DANKET ALLE GOTT
