Hymn
TIS 106
Now thank we all our God with hearts and hands and voices , who wondrous things has done , in whom the 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 . Lord , keep us in your grace , and guide us when perplexed , and free us from all harm in this world and the next .
All praise and thanks to God who reigns in highest heaven , to Father and to Son and Spirit now be given : the one eternal God , whom heaven and earth adore , who ever was , is now , and shall be ever more .
Martin Rinkart 1586-1649
