All Creatures of Our God and King
Harmony of Creation: A Hymn of Praise and Redemption
Lyrics
All creatures of our God and King
All living beings created by our God and King
Lift up your voice and with us sing
Join together and sing with us
O praise Him, alleluia
Express praise to Him, saying "alleluia"
Thou, burning sun with golden beam
Addressing the sun, symbolizing radiance and warmth
Thou, silver moon with softer gleam
Addressing the moon, symbolizing gentleness
O praise Him, O praise Him
Continued praise to Him
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
Repeating "alleluia" in joyful exclamation
Let all things their Creator bless
Encouraging all things to bless their Creator
And worship Him in humbleness
Urge all things to worship Him with humility
O praise Him, alleluia
Express praise to Him, saying "alleluia"
Praise, praise the Father, praise the Son
Direct praise to the Father, Son, and Spirit
And praise the Spirit, Three in One
Acknowledging the Trinity - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
O praise Him, O praise Him
Continued praise to Him
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
Repeating "alleluia" in joyful exclamation
All the redeemed washed by His blood
Those redeemed by His blood are invited to rejoice
Come and rejoice in His great love
Encouragement to rejoice in God's great love
O praise Him, alleluia
Express praise to Him, saying "alleluia"
Christ has defeated every sin
Acknowledging Christ's victory over sin
Cast all your burdens now on Him
Encouragement to cast burdens on Him
O praise Him, O praise Him
Continued praise to Him
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
Repeating "alleluia" in joyful exclamation
He shall return in power to reign
Anticipation of His return in power to reign
Heaven and earth will join to say
Foreseeing heaven and earth joining to praise Him
O praise Him, alleluia
Express praise to Him, saying "alleluia"
Then who shall fall on bended knee
Contemplating those who will humbly worship
All creatures of our God and King
Reiteration of all creatures praising God
O praise Him, O praise Him
Continued praise to Him
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
Repeating "alleluia" in joyful exclamation
Alleluia
Final joyful exclamation of "alleluia"
