Now Thank We All Our God

Now thank we all our God With hearts and hands and voices Who wondrous things has 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 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

There is a Redeemer Jesus God's own Son Precious Lamb of God Messiah Holy One Thank You O my Father For giving us Your Son And leaving Your Spirit Till the work on earth is done Jesus my Redeemer name above all names Precious Lamb of God Messiah O for sinners slain When I stand in glory I will see His face There I'll serve my King forever In that holy place
