2. All Creatures of Our God and King

1 All creatures of our God and King,
Life up your voice with us and sing:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
O burning sun with golden beam
And silver moon with softer gleam:

Refrain:
Oh, praise Him! Oh, praise Him!
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!

2 O rushing wind and breezes soft,
O clouds that ride the winds aloft:
Oh, praise Him! Alleluia!
O rising morn, in praise rejoice,
O light of evening, find a voice. [Refrain}

3 O flowing waters, pure and clear,
Make music for your Lord to hear.
Oh, praise Him! Alleluia!
O fire so masterful and bright,
Providing us with warmth and light, [Refrain]

4 Let all things their Creator bless,
And worship Him in humbleness,
Oh, praise Him! Alleluia!
Oh, praise the Father, praise the Son,
And praise the Spirit, kthree in One! [Refrain]
