All Creatures Canticle

St. Francis of Assissi
All creatures of our God and King,
Lift up your voice and with us sing!
Alleluia! Alleluia!
O burning sun with golden beam
And silver moon with softer gleam:
Oh, praise Him! Oh, praise Him!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

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

O flowing waters pure and clear
Make music for your Lord to hear
Oh, praise Him! Alleluia!
O fire so masterful so bright,
Providing us with warmth and light,
Oh, praise Him! Oh, praise Him!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Dear mother earth, who day by day
Unfolds rich blessings on our way,
Oh, praise Him! Alleluia!
The fruits and flow'rs that verdant grow,
Let them His praise abundant show.
Oh, praise Him! Oh, praise Him!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

O ev'ryone of tender heart,
Forgiving others, take your part,
Oh, praise Him! Alleluia!
All you who pain and sorrow bear,
Praise God and lay on Him your care
Oh, praise Him! Oh, praise Him!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

And you, most kind and gentle death,
Waiting to hush our final breath,
Oh, praise Him! Alleluia!
You lead to heav'n the child of God, Where Christ our Lord the way has trod.
Oh, praise Him! Oh, praise Him!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
