Today’s hymn is:

All creatures of our God and King

sung by St Martin’s Voices

1 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.

2 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;

Chorus

3 Thou flowing water, pure and clear,

make music for thy Lord to hear,

Alleluia, alleluia.

Thou fire so masterful and bright,

that givest hearts both warmth and light:

Chorus

4 Dear mother earth, who day by day

unfoldest blessings on our way,

O praise him, alleluia.

The flowers and fruits that in thee grow,

let them his glory also show:

Chorus

5 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;

Chorus
