Great things are on the horizon

Johann Sebastian Bach’s “Now Thank We All Our God” is a joyful and powerful chorale based on the German hymn Nun danket alle Gott. Bach arranged the melody in several sacred works, giving it rich harmonies and a grand Baroque character. The music expresses gratitude, praise, and thanksgiving to God.

It is most commonly used in:

• Church services, especially Thanksgiving and harvest celebrations
• Protestant hymn singing and choir performances
• Weddings and festive religious ceremonies
• Classical concerts featuring Baroque sacred music

The hymn remains one of the best-known expressions of thanksgiving in Christian music traditions.
