HYMN: Now thank we all our God | A f’ope f’Olorun

ENGLISH LYRICS: Now thank we all our God

For this God is our God for ever. Ps 48:14

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
    Hath 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 in His grace,
    And guide us when perplex'd
    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 Holy Ghost,
    Supreme in highest heaven,
    The One eternal God,
    Whom earth and heav'n adore,
    For thus it was, is now
    And shall be evermore.

Amen.
