1⁠Now 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 to-day.

2⁠O may this bounteous God
Through all our life be near us,
⁠With ever joyful hearts
And blessèd 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.

3⁠All 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.⁠Amen.
