203. All creatures of our God and King

Authors: Draper, William Henry, Francis of Assisi (Bernardone, Giovanni Franceso)

All creatures of our God and king,
lift up your voice and with us sing:
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Bright burning sun with golden beam,
soft shining moon with silver gleam,

O praise him, O praise him,
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

2. Swift rushing wind so wild and strong,
white clouds that sail in heaven along,
O praise him! Hallelujah!
New rising dawn in praise rejoice,
and lights of evening find a voice;

3. Cool flowing water, pure and clear,
make music for your Lord to hear,
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Fierce fire so masterful and bright,
giving to us both warmth and light,

4. Earth ever fertile, day by day
bring forth your blessings on our way,
O praise him! Hallelujah!
All fruit and crops that richly grow,
all trees and flowers God’s glory show;

5. People and nations, take your part,
love and forgive with all your heart;
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
All who long pain and sorrow bear,
praise God and on him cast your care;

6. Let all things their Creator bless
and worship him in lowliness,
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Praise, praise the Father, praise the Son,
and praise the Spirit, Three-in-One:
