lift up your voice and with us sing
alleluia, alleluia;
O burning sun with golden beam,
and silver moon with softer gleam,
O praise him, O praise him,
alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
2 Swift-rushing winds that art so strong,
and clouds that sail in heaven along,
O praise him, alleluia;
fresh-rising morn, in praise rejoice,
and lights of evening, find a voice,
O praise him, O praise him,
alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
3 O flowing water, pure and clear,
make music for thy Lord to hear,
alleluia, alleluia!
O fire, so masterful and bright,
providing us with warmth and light,
O praise him, O praise him,
alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
4 Dear mother earth, who day by day
unfold rich blessings on our way,
O praise him, alleluia!
All flowers and fruit that in you grow,
let them his glory also show;
O praise him, O praise him,
alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
5 And everyone of tender heart,
forgiving others, take your part,
O praise him, alleluia!
All who long pain and sorrow bear,
praise God and on him cast your care;
O praise him, O praise him,
alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
6 And you, most kind and gentle death,
waiting to hush our latest breath,
O praise him, alleluia!
You lead to heaven the child of God,
and Christ our Lord the way has trod:
O praise him, O praise him,
alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
7 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!
