1. Now let us to the Lord God
   Give thanks, and gladly Him laud
   For ev’ry gracious blessing
   Which through Him we’re possessing!

2. Our life, our soul, our body
   To us hath giv’n He only,
   And for their preservation
   He spares no ministration.

3. He gives the body its fare,
   And still our souls abide there
   Though mortal wounds have rent them
   Through sins which have beset them.

4. To us a good Physician,
   Our very Life, is given:
   The Christ, whose death and passion
   Hath made Him our Salvation.

5. His Supper, Word, and Baptism
   Serve well against misfortune;
   Through faith the Holy Spirit
   Doth teach us all to hear it.

6. Our sins have been forgiven
   And through Him life is given;
   In heav’n we’ll be possessing,
   O God, what gen’rous blessing!

7. Lord, in Thy great affection,
   To us grant Thy protection,
   Both great and small together;
   Thou plottest evil never.

8. Keep us in truth and wisdom
   And grant eternal freedom.
   Thy name be praised by all men,
   Through our Lord Jesus! Amen.

Nun laßt uns Gott, dem Herren
