Now Thank We All Our God

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 blest us on our way

With countless gifts of love, And still is ours today.

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.  A-men.

“For the Beauty of the Earth”

For the beauty of the earth, For the glory of the skies.  For the

love which from our birth Over, and around us lies;

Lord of all, to Thee we raise This our hymn of grateful praise.

For the joy of human love, Brother, sister, parent, child; Friends on

earth and friends above; For all gentle thoughts and mild; Lord of

all, to Thee we raise This our hymn of grateful praise.

For Thyself, best gift divine, To our race so freely given; For that

great, great love of Thine, Pease on earth and joy in heaven; Lord

of all, to Thee we raise This our hymn of grateful praise.    A-men
