The Words for Nun Danket Alle Gott “Now Thank We All Our God” were written C 1636 in the midst of the Thirty Years’ War 1618-1648 by Martin Rinkart. It is a hymn of thanks giving originally meant for a prayer before meals and was translated by Catherine Winkworth.
Now thank we all our God
with heart and hands and voices,
who wondrous things has done,
in whom his world rejoices;
who from our mothers' arms
has blessed us on our way
with countless gifts of love,
and still is ours today.
O may this bounteous God
through all our life be near us,
with ever joyful hearts
and blessed peace to cheer us,
to keep us in his grace,
and guide us when perplexed,
and free us from all ills
of this world in the next.
All praise and thanks to God
the Father now be given,
the Son and Spirit blest,
who reign in highest heaven
the one eternal God,
whom heaven and earth adore;
for thus it was, is now,
and shall be evermore.
Our love for this music is reflected in that this is our second recording of the music.
Four of the tracks appear in the same running order as in our previous release as Ceól Eaglais Naomh Phadraig released on February 23, 2023.
With variation in their appearance in this live performance the remaining six tracks beautifully complete our set list.
We hope that you will enjoy this present recording.
All Tracks were recorded live in our studio during our performance on Remembrance Sunday 12th November 2023. Following post recording production we are honoured to once again present this music to you, released on March 1 2024 as Ceól Naómh Pádraig.
Thank you for your very much appreciated support.
