All creatures of our God and King,
Lift up your voice and with us sing,
Alleluia, Alleluia!
Thou burning sun with golden beam,
Thou silver moon with softer gleam,
Oh praise Him, O praise Him!
Alleluia, Alleluia! Alleluia!
Thou rushing wind that are so strong,
Ye clouds that sail in Heaven along,
O praise Him, Alleluia!
Thou rushing morn in praise rejoice,
Ye lights of evening find a voice,
Oh praise Him, O praise Him!
Alleluia, Alleluia! Alleluia!
Thou flowing water pure and clear,
Make music for thy Lord to hear,
Alleluia, Alleluia!
Thou fire so masterful and bright,
That givest man both warmth and light
Oh praise Him, O praise Him!
Alleluia, Alleluia! Alleluia!
All ye men of tender heart
Forgiving others take your part
O sing ye! Alleluia!
Ye who long pain and sorrow bear
Praise God and on Him cast your care
Oh praise Him, O praise Him!
Alleluia, Alleluia! Alleluia!
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
Oh praise Him, O praise Him!
Alleluia, Alleluia! Alleluia!
(The hymn listed above is a very popular one and perhaps you just skimmed over it. I encourage you to take a moment and reflect on the words. I couldn't stop singing it (in my head) all week while we were at the beach. On our second day there, (at the initiation of my husband) we listened to Tim Keller's sermon entitled, The Song of Creation. It is absolutely worth the 30ish minutes spent listening to it, particularly the second half. You can listen to it for free, HERE.)
