1 All creatures of our God and King,
   Lift up your voice with us and sing
   Alleluia, Alleluia!

   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 sing,
   Alleluia, Alleluia!
   Thou fire so masterful and bright,
   Thou givest man both warth and light!
   O praise Him, O praise Him,
   Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

4 Dear mother earth, who day by day
   Unfolded blessings on our way,
   O praise Him! Alleluia!
   The flowers and fruits that in thee grow,
   Let them His glory also show!
   O praise Him, O praise Him,
   Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

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

6 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!
