(one verse introduction)

Now thank we all our God, with heart and hands and voices,
Who wondrous things has done, in Whom this world rejoices;
Who from our parents' 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;
And keep us still in grace, and guide us when perplexed;
And free us from all ills, in this world and the next.

All praise and thanks to God, Creator now be given;
With Child and Holy Ghost all reigning now in heaven;
The one eternal God, Whom earth and heav'n adore;
For thus it was, is now, and shall be evermore.
