1. All ye who on this earth do dwell,
   Give thanks and glorify
   The Lord whose praises ever swell
   From angel hosts on high.

2. With gladsome songs now fill the air
   To God our highest Good,
   Who works His wonders ev’rywhere,
   Who wrought as none else could.

3. Since first our life began to be,
   He has preserved our frame;
   And when man’s strength was vanity,
   He as our Helper came.

4. Though often we His patience try
   And well deserve His frown,
   In grace He lays His anger by
   And pours new blessings down.

5. O may He give a joyous heart,
   The mind from sorrow keep,
   And cast all care, fear, grief, and smart
   Into the ocean deep.

6. O may He grant His precious peace
   To His true Israel’s land,
   And crown with joys that never cease
   The labors of our hand!

7. May love and goodness toward us flow
   In bounteous streams each day,
   And ev’ry anxious care we know
   Be chased by Him away.

8. Long as we tarry here below
   Our saving Health is He;
   And when from earth to heav’n we go,
   May He our Portion be!

9. When sinks the heart, when strength decays,
   By Him our eyes be press’d,
   And may we see His open face
   In everlasting rest.

Nun danket all und bringet Ehr
