Verse 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!


Verse 2


Thou rushing wind thou art so strong
Ye clouds that sail in heaven along
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Thou rising morn, in praise rejoice
Ye lights of evening, find a voice!
O praise Him! O praise Him!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!


Bridge


All the earth, make a joyful noise
Every tribe, every tongue rejoice
Rejoice!


Verse 3


Let all things their Creator bless
And worship Him in humbleness
Alleluia! Alleluia!
O praise the Father, praise the Son
And praise the Spirit, Three in One
O praise Him, O praise Him!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Alleluia!

Meaning & Inspiration

All Creatures is a modern arrangement of the hymn "All Creatures of Our God and King." The first stanza calls every creature to lift a voice and sing alleluia, naming the burning sun with its golden beam and the silver moon with its softer gleam, and the second turns to the rushing wind, the clouds that sail across the sky, the rising morning and the lights of evening, all invited to find a voice and praise Him.

A new section added to the hymn says that all the earth should make a joyful noise and that every tribe and tongue should rejoice. The last stanza says that all things should bless their Creator and worship Him in humbleness, closing with praise to the Father, Son and Spirit, three in one. The themes follow Psalm 148:3-5 on sun, moon and stars praising the Lord, Psalm 100:1 on a joyful noise, and Psalm 150:6 on everything that has breath praising Him. The sweeping melody gives it a majestic, joyful tone.
