Now Thank We All Our God

Are you looking for a hymn to sing with your family this Thanksgiving?

“Now Thank We All Our God” is a beautiful hymn to consider. The words found in the three verses of this hymn are a great reminder of many things we have to be thankful for.

 

Now Thank We all Our God

Verse 1

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

Verse 2

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

Verse 3

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

Sing Psalm 37:31

One of the ways to have fun memorizing Bible verses with your children is to sing the verses! I have enjoyed doing this with our daughters and thought we’d share one of our Bible verse songs with you! Perhaps you will enjoy singing it with your children!

Psalm 37:31 Song Words

Psalm 37:31
The law of His God is in his heart
none of his steps,
none of his steps,
the law of His God is in his heart
none of his steps shall slide.

Hymnbooks and Resources

Our family enjoys singing hymns together and we have a quite a number of hymn books in our home. Quite a collection actually! :-)

If we could only use one hymnal, it would probably be the Majesty Hymnal by Majesty Music. We have multiple copies of this hymnal and enjoy using it as we sing with family and friends.

Another great resource is Hymns For Family Worship by Building Faith Families. This book includes a great selection of hymns, piano music and hymn stories. The hymn stories are well written and easy to read. Accompaniment cds are available and can be helpful should a family not have a musician in the home or if a family desires to learn a hymn that is new to them.

At the beginning of the Hymns for Family Worship book Steve Demme shares how his family came to be intentional about singing hymns in their home. Definitely worth reading! He also includes a short article on the background of Hymns and a reprinted article on hymns by Elizabeth Elliot. Again, definitely worth reading!! These articles are good to not only read once, but to refer back to for encouragement and inspiration.

Does your family have a favorite hymnal? We’d love to have you share it with us! Leave a comment, email or text anytime.

Let’s keep singing to the Lord with family and friends!
