All Creatures of Our God and King
By: St. Francis of Assisi
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, O praise Him!
O praise Him! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Thou
rushing wind that art so strong, ye clouds that sail in Heaven along, O
praise Him! Alleluia! Thou rising moon, in praise rejoice, ye lights of
evening, find a voice!
O praise Him! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Thou flowing water, pure and clear, make music for thy Lord to hear, O praise Him!
Alleluia! Thou fire so masterful and bright, that givest man both warmth and light.
O praise Him! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
And 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!
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!
O praise Him, Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
O praise Him, Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Psalm 146:2
While I live will I praise the Lord: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.

Hebrews 13:15
By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.

Revelation 19:4-6
And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts that fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia. And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great. And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
