Verse 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.
Verse 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.
Verse 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.
