19. Glory be to God on High

Glory be to God on High,
Alleluia!
Let the whole creation cry
Alleluia!
Peace and blessing He has given,
Alleluia!
Earth repeat the songs of Heaven,
Alleluia!

Creatures of the field and flood,
Alleluia!
Earth and sea cry "God is good,"
Alleluia!
Toiling pilgrims raise the song,
Alleluia!
Saints in light the strain prolong,
Alleluia!

Stars that have no voice to sing
Alleluia!
Give their glory to our King,
Alleluia!
Silent powers, and angels' song,
Alleluia!
All unto our God belong,
Alleluia!
