Children's Hymnal ‎#5

5. All Creatures of Our God and King

1 All creatures of our God and King,
Lift up your voice and with us sing
Alleluya, allelyia!
Thou burning sun with golden beam,
Thou silver moon with silver gleam:
O praise him, O praise him,
Alleluya, alleluya, alleluya!

2 Thou rushing wind that art so strong,
Ye clouds that sail in heav'n along,
O praise Him, alleluya!
Thou rising morn in praise rejoice,
Ye lights of ev'ning, find a voice;
O praise him, O praise him,
Alleluya, alleluya, alleluya!

3 Thou flowing water, pure and clear,
Make music for Thy Lord to hear,
Alleluya, alleluya!
Thou fire so masterful and bright,
That givest man both warmth and light;
O praise him, O praise him,
Alleluya, alleluya, alleluya!

4 Let all things their Creator bless,
And worship Him in humbleness,
O praise Him, alleluya!
Praise, praise the Father, praise the Son,
And praise the Spirit, Three in One;
O praise him, O praise him,
Alleluya, alleluya, alleluya!
