Lyrics

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,

  O sing ye, O sing ye, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!

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,

  O sing ye, O sing ye, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!

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,

  O sing ye, O sing ye, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!

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,

  O sing ye, O sing ye, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!

All you of understanding heart,
forgiving others, take your part

  alleluia, alleluia!

Let all things now the good possess,
and search out truth in humbleness

  O sing ye, O sing ye, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
