1. All creature of our God and King,
Lift up your voice, and with us sing,
Let the alleluias ring,
Join in the anthem of praise.
Rejoice thou sun with golden beam.
Thou silver moon with softer gleam,
Wake, ye stars, nor longer dream,
Join in the anthem of praise.
Thou rushing wind that art so strong,
Ye clouds that sail in heaven along.
Roll ye thunder, mighty in song,
Join in the anthem of praise
Let all things their creator bless,
The wonder of His works confess,
Worship Him in thankfulness,
Join in the anthem of praise.
2. Dear mother earth who day by day
unfoldest blessings on our way.
Field and flow’r, His glory display,
Join in the anthem of praise.
Thou flowing water pure and clear,
Make music for thy Lord to hear,
Aleluia, sing and rejoice!
Heaven and nature find a voice,
Aleluia, sing and rejoice!
Swell creation’s joyful noise!
3. Let all things their Creator bless,
The wonder of His works confess
Worship Him in thankfulness,
Join in the anthem of praise,
Join in the anthem of praise,
Join in the anthem of praise!
Anthem of praise!
