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!
Refrain:
O praise ye! O praise ye!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
2 Thou rushing wind that art so strong,
ye clouds that sail in heav'n along,
O praise ye, Alleluia!
Thou rising morn, in praise rejoice,
ye lights of evening, find a voice! [Refrain]
3 Dear mother earth, who day by day
unfoldest blessings on our way,
O praise ye, Alleluia!
The flow'rs and fruits that in thee grow,
let them his glory also show. [Refrain]
4 And thou most kind and gentle death,
waiting to hush our latest breath,
O praise ye, Alleluia!
Thou leadest home the child of God,
and Christ our Lord the way hath trod. [Refrain]
5 Let all things their Creator bless,
and worship him in humbleness,
O praise ye, Alleluia!
Praise, praise the Father, praise the Son,
and praise the Spirit, Three in One! [Refrain]
