All Creatures of Our God and King
Lyrics
All Creatures of Our God and King
Lift up your voice and with us sing
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
Thou burning sun with golden beam
Thou silver moon with softer gleam
O praise him, O praise him
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah!
Thou flowing water, pure and clear
Make music for your Lord to hear
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
Thou rising morn, in praise rejoice
You lights of evening, find a voice
O praise him, O praise him,
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah!
And all you people, lift your hearts,
Forgiving others, take your part,
Come singing ‘Hallelujah!’
You who long pain and sorrow bear,
Praise God and on him cast your care,
O praise him, O praise him,
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah!
Let all things their Creator bless,
And worship him in humbleness,
O praise him, hallelujah!
Praise, praise the Father, praise the Son,
And praise the Spirit, Three in One,
O praise him, O praise him,
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah!
Words: Francis of Assisi, (1182–1226)
