Author: St. Francis of Assisi, 1182-1226 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #203 (1993) Meter: 8.8.4.4.8.8 with alleluias Topics: Celebration and Praise Lyrics: 1 All creatures of the earth and sky,
come, kindred, lift your voices high,
Alleluia, Alleluia!
Bright burning sun with golden beam,
soft shining moon with silver gleam:
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
2 Swift rushing wind so wild and strong,
white clouds that sail in heav’n along,
Alleluia, Alleluia!
Fair rising morn in praise rejoice,
high stars of evening find a voice:
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
3 Cool flowing water, pure and clear,
make music for all life to hear,
Alleluia, Alleluia!
Dance, flame of fire, so strong and bright,
and bless us with your warmth and light:
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
4 Embracing earth, you, day by day,
bring forth your blessings on our way,
Alleluia, Alleluia!
All herbs and fruits that richly grow,
let them the glory also show:
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
5 All you of understanding heart,
forgiving others, take your part,
Alleluia, Alleluia!
Let all things now the Holy bless,
and worship God in humbleness:
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
