Hymn #555
Now Thank We All Our God...was written during the Thirty Years War, circa 1636, by Martin Rinkart, a German Lutheran pastor. Known as the national "Te Deum" of Germany, this hymn has been sung on many occasions of national rejoicing, and is second only to "A Mighty Fortress is Our God" in its widespread use in Germany. Rinkart composed the first two stanzas as a grace to be sung before meals at his family table. The first stanza looks back to the past in grateful recognition for the "wondrous things" God has done for us from our earliest years. Stanza 2 is a prayer for safekeeping and guidance in the future, and Stanza 3 is a grand doxology of praise to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
