1 Now thank we all our God , with heart, and hands, and voices, who wondrous things hath done, in whom his 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; to keep 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 him who reigns with them in highest heaven, eternal, Triune God, whom earth and heaven adore; for thus it was, is now, and shall be, evermore.
