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!
Bright burning sun with golden beam,
soft shining moon with silver gleam,
   O praise him, O praise him,
   Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!

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

 O praise him ...

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

   O praise him ...

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

   O praise him ...

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

   O praise him ...

6 Death, once the ancient enemy,
hear now our Easter melody.
O praise him, alleluia!
You are the pathway home to God,
our door to life through Christ our Lord;

   O praise him ...

7 Let all things their creator bless
and worship him in lowliness,
Alleluia, alleluia!
Praise, praise the Father, praise the Son,
and praise the Spirit, Three-in-One,

   O praise him ...
