[quietbloke]

'Now thank we all our God,with heart and hands and voices,who wondrous things hath done,in whom His world rejoices. Who from our mother's arms,hath blessed us on our way with countless gifts of love and still is ours today' (Martin Ricket)

'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' (Martin Rinkart)

I looked up on 'wiki' and found out a little more about this amazing clergyman.
"Martin Rinkart, or Rinckart (23 April 1586 – 8 December 1649) was a German Lutheran clergyman and hymnist. He is best known for the text to "Now thank we all our God" (Nun danket alle Gott), which was written ca. 1636. It was set to music by Johann Crüger about 1647, and translated into English in the 19th century by Catherine Winkworth.

Rinkart was a deacon at Eisleben and archdeacon at Eilenburg, where he was born and also died. He served there during the Thirty Years' War and a severe plague in 1637.

Such amazing Christians with stories to tell...
