Chancel Choir Now thank we all our God, with hearts and hands and voices, who wondrous things has done, in whom this world rejoices;
who from our mother’s arms has blessed us on our way with countless gifts of love, and still is ours today.
Oh, may this bounteous God through all our lives be near us, Ever joyful hearts and blessed peace to cheer us;
And keep us all in grace, and guide us when perplexed, And free us from all harm in this world and the next.
All praise and thanks to God the Father now be given, The Son and Spirit blest, who reign in highest heaven, The one eternal God, whom earth and heav’n adore;
For thus it was, is now, and shall be evermore!
