Lift up your voices with us sing
Alleluia, Alleluia!
O burning sun with golden beam,
O silver moon with softer gleam,
Refrain:
Sing God's praises, Alleluia,
O sing praises, Alleluia, Alleluia!
2 O rushing wind, you are so strong,
You clouds that sail in heaven along,
Sing God's praises, Alleluia!
You rising morn, in praise rejoice,
You lights of evening find a voice, [Refrain]
3 You flowing water, pure and clear,
Make music for our God to hear,
Alleluia, Alleluia!
O fire so masterful and bright,
That gives to us both warmth and light, [Refrain]
4 Dear mother earth, who day by day
Unfolds such blessings on our way,
Sing God's praises, Alleluia!
The flowers and fruits that in thee grows,
Let them God's glory also show, [Refrain]
5 And all you folk of tender heart,
Forgiving others, take your part,
O sing ye, Alleluia!
You, who long pain and sorrow bear,
With praises cast on God your care, [Refrain]
