Lyrics of The Day - 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; 
And keep us still in 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 Him who reigns 
With them in highest heaven; 
The one eternal God, 
Whom earth and heaven adore; 
For thus it was, is now, 
And shall be evermore.
