The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad. Let the distant shores rejoice... (Psalms 97)

The words to the famous hymn "All Creatures of our God and King" were written by Francis of Assisi.

Words

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 morn, in praise rejoice

Ye lights of evening, find a voice

O 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

O praise him, 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, O praise him

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia


And thou, most kind and gentle death

Waiting to hush our latest breath

O praise him, alleluia

Thou leadest home the child of God

And Christ our Lord the way hath trod

O 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

O praise him, O praise him

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
