All Creatures of Our God and King

1 All creatures of our God and King,  
Lift up your voice and with us sing,  
Alleluia! Alleluia!  
Thou burning sun with golden beam,  
Thou silver moon with softer gleam,  
O praise Him! O praise Him!  
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!  

2 Thou rushing wind that art so strong,  
Ye clouds that sail in heaven along,  
O praise Him! Alleluia!  
Thou rising morn, in praise rejoice;  
Ye lights of evening, find a voice,  
O praise Him! O praise Him!  
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!  

3 Thou flowing water, pure and clear,  
Make music for Thy Lord to hear,  
Alleluia! Alleluia!  
Thou fire so masterful and bright,  
Thou givest man both warmth and light,  
O praise Him! O praise Him!  
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!  

4 And all ye men of tender heart,  
Forgiving others, take your part,  
O sing ye! Alleluia!  
Ye who long pain and sorrow bear,  
Praise God and on Him cast your care,  
O praise Him, O praise Him!  
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!  

5 Let all things their Creator bless,  
And worship Him in humbleness,  
O praise Him! Alleluia!  
Praise, praise the Father, praise the Son,  
And praise the Spirit, Three in One,  
O praise Him! O praise Him!  
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
