114. Nun danket alle Gott (Now Thank We All Our God)

1 Nun danket alle Gott
mit Herzen, Mund und Händen,
der große Dinge tut
an uns und allen Enden;
der uns an Leib und Seel
von früher Kindheit an
unzählig viel zugut
bis hierher hat getan.

2 Der ewigreiche Gott
woll uns bei unserm Leben
ein immer fröhlich Herz
und edlen Frieden geben,
und uns in seiner Gnad
erhalten fort und fort
und uns aus aller Not
erlösen hier und dort.

3 Lob, Ehr und Preis sei Gott,
dem Vater und dem Sohne
und dem, der beiden gleich
im höchsten Himmelsthrone,
dem dreimal einen Gott,
wie es ursprünglich war
und ist und bleiben wird
jetzund und immerdar!

1 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 mothers’ arms,
has bless’d us on our way
with countless gifts of love,
and still is ours today.

2 Oh, may this bounteous God
through all our life be near us,
with ever joyful hearts
and blessed peace to cheer us,
and keep us safe in grace,
and guide us when perplexed,
and free us from all ills
in this world and the next.

3 *All praise and thanks to God
the Father now be given,
the Son, and him who reigns
with them in highest heaven,
the one eternal God,
whom earth and heav’n adore,
for thus it was, is now,
and shall be evermore.

*Alternative stanza 3:
All praise and thanks to God
who reigns in highest heaven—
Creator, living Christ,
and Spirit blest, be given—
the one eternal God,
whom earth and heav’n adore,
for thus it was, is now,
and shall be evermore.
