O God, Our Help In Ages Past
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 blessed us on our way
With countless gifts of love, and still is ours to-day.
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.
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.
