All crea­tures of our God and king
Lift up your voice and with us sing, (Ps. 148:1-2, Ps. 103:22, Ps. 150:6, Rev. 5:13)
Alleluia! Al­le­luia!

Thou sil­ver moon with soft­er gleam! (Ps. 148:3)

Chorus
O praise Him! O praise Him! (Ps. 148:1, Ps. 150:1-2)
Alleluia! Al­le­luia! Al­le­luia!

Verse 2
Thou rush­ing wind that art so strong (Ps. 148:8)
Ye clouds that sail in Heav­en along, (Ps. 148:8)
O praise Him! Al­le­luia!
Thou ris­ing moon, in praise re­joice, (Ps. 148:3)
Ye lights of ev­en­ing, find a voice! (Ps. 148:3)

Verse 3
Thou flow­ing water, pure and clear, (Ps. 148:4)
Make mu­sic for thy Lord to hear,

Thou fire so mas­ter­ful and bright, (Ps. 148:8)
That giv­est man both warmth and light.

Verse 5
And thou most kind and gen­tle death,
Waiting to hush our lat­est breath,

Thou lead­est home the child of God,
And Christ our Lord the way hath trod. (Heb. 6:20, Heb. 10:19-20)

Praise, praise the Fa­ther, praise the Son,
And praise the Spir­it, Three in One!
