HYMN
‘ Now Thank We All Our God ’
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 us when perplexed , And free us from all ills
In this world and the next .
