Thanksgiving

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.   

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.   

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.
