Lyrics

All creatures, worship God most high, lift up your voice in earth and sky,

  alleluia, alleluia!

Thou burning sun with golden beam, thou silver moon with softer gleam,

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

Thou rushing wind that art so strong, ye clouds that sail in heav'n along,

  alleluia, alleluia!

Thou rising morn in praise rejoice, ye lights of evening find a voice,

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

Thou flowing water, pure and clear, make music for thy God to hear,

  alleluia, alleluia!

Thou fire so masterful and bright, that givest all both warmth and light,

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

Dear mother earth, who day by day, unfoldest blessings on our way,

  alleluia, alleluia!

The flow'rs and fruits that in thee grow, let them God's glory also show,

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

And ev'ryone, with tender heart, forgiving others, take your part,

  alleluia, alleluia!

Ye who long pain and sorrow bear, sing praise and cast on God your care,

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

And thou, most kind and gentle death, waiting to hush our final breath,

  alleluia, alleluia!

Thou leadest home the child of God, as Christ before that way hath trod,

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

Let all things their Creator bless, and worship God in humbleness,

  alleluia, alleluia!

To God all thanks and praise belong! Join in the everlasting song:

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