'Now thank we all our God' (hymn) written by Martin Rinkart, translated by Catherine Winkworth

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 mother's arms

Hath 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 in His grace,

And guide 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 Holy Ghost,

Supreme in highest heaven,

The one eternal God,

Whom earth and heaven adore;

For thus it was, is now

And shall be evermore.
