116 DEVOTIONS

And He will remember us. He will indeed. For He has
promised it with His “Verily” and has sealed it with His
sacred blood.

When all the trumpets have sounded for us from the
other side, then indeed we shall thank Him as we ought
for the memory of a whole lifetime of His unfailing love,
concern, and care. We shall join in the never-ending
anthem of praise. In the meantime we can begin the
song already now. Let us then stand and with angels
and archangels and with all the company of heaven
laud and magnify His glorious name, evermore praising

Him and joining now in singing that great hymn of the’

church on earth “Now Thank We All Our God.”

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 mothers’ arms

Has blest us on our way

With countless gifts of love

And still is ours today.

Oh, 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 harm

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 heav’n adore;
For thus it was, is now,

And shall be evermore.

Lord, remember us in Your kingdom! Amen.
Herbert Mueller, D.D.
