All
creatures of our God and King,
Lift up your voice and with us sing
Alleluia!
Alleluia!
Thou burning
sun with golden beam,
Thou silver
moon with softer gleam!
O
praise him, O praise him!
Alleluia!
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Thou
rushing wind that art so strong,
Ye clouds that sail in
heaven along,
O praise him!
Alleluia!
Thou rising morn, in praise
rejoice,
Ye lights of evening, find a voice!
O
praise him, O praise him!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
And all ye men of
tender heart,
Forgiving others, take your part,
O
sing ye! Alleluia!
Ye who long pain and sorrow bear,
Praise God and on him cast your care!
O praise him, O praise him!
Alleluia!
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Let all things their
Creator bless,
And worship him in
humbleness,
O praise him! Alleluia!
Praise, praise the
Father, praise the Son,
And praise the Spirit,
Three in One!
O praise him, O praise him!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Amen
