Now Thank we all our God

Author: Miss C. Winkworth; M. Rinkart Appears in 688 hymnals Topics: Church Festivals Thanksgiving Lyrics: 1 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 Has blessed us on our way With countless gifts of love, And still is ours today. 2 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. 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 heaven adore; For thus it was, is now, And shall be evermore!

Author: John G. Whittier Appears in 32 hymnals Topics: Church Festivals Thanksgiving First Line: Once more the lib'ral year laughs out Lyrics: 1 Once more the lib'ral year laughs out O'er richer stores than gems or gold; Once more, with harvest-song and shout, Is nature's bloodless triumph told. 2 O favors ev'ry year made new! O blessings with the sunshine sent! The bounty overruns our due, The fullness shames our discontent. 3 We shut our eyes, the flow'rs bloom on; We murmur, but the corn ears fill; We choose the shadow, but the sun That casts it, shines behind us still. 4 Now let these altars, wreath'd with flow'rs And piled with fruits, awake again Thanksgiving for the golden hours, The early and the latter rain.
