Now thank ye all our God
With heart and voice and labor,
Who mighty things doth work
For us in ev'ry quarter,
Who us from mother's womb
And toddler's paces on
A countless toll of good
And still e'en now hath done.

The ever bounteous God
Through all our life be willing
An always joyful heart
And noble peace to give us,
And us within his grace
Maintain for evermore,
And us from ev'ry want
Deliver here and there.

Laud, honor, praise to God,
The Father and the Son now
And him alike to both
On the high throne of heaven,
To God the Three-in-One,
As he was at the first
And is and e'er shall be,
Both now and evermore.
