Meaning & Inspiration
This praise song builds on the opening lines of the hymn "All Creatures of Our God and King" and adds a new alleluia refrain. The verses call every creature to lift its voice, with the sun, moon and stars rejoicing and angels joining the song. God is named as the giver of good things, a merciful Father and a holy King who reigns above the clouds.
The chorus repeats "Sing alleluia" and gives the reason as God's "infinite love." The bridge uses call and response, with the lead line "O praise Him" answered by "Alleluia" and echoes tied to morning, the rising sun and the close of day. That pattern marks praise as a rhythm that covers the whole day.
The call for all creation to praise echoes Psalm 148 and Psalm 150, which list sun, moon, stars and everything that has breath. The arrangement keeps the hymn's familiar melody of ideas while the refrain makes it easy for a congregation to join.
