21. All Creatures of Our God and King

1 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!

2 Thou rushing wind that art so strong,
Ye clouds that sail in heav'n 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!

3 Dear mother earth, who day by day,
Unfoldest blessings on our way,
O praise Him! Alleluia!
The flow'rs and fruits that in thee grow,
Let them His glory also show:
O praise Him, O praise Him!
Alleluia, Alleluia! Alleluia!

4 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!

5 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!

6 Praise God from whom all blessings flow,
Praise Him all creatures here below,
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Praise Him above, ye heav'nly host,
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost:
Alleluia, Alleluia!
Alleluia, Alleluia! Alleluia!
