1b. Let the whole Creation cry

Let the whole Creation cry
Glory to the Lord on high!
Heaven and earth, awake and sing
"God is good, and therefore King."

Praise Him, all ye hosts above,
Praise Him, Lord of life and love!
Sun and moon, uplift your voice,
Night and stars, in God rejoice.

Rivers roll His praise along,
Ocean chant His anthem song!
Sunshine, darkness, cloud and storm,
Rain and snow His praise perform.

All the beasts that haunt the woods,
And the fish that cleave the floods,
Insects, and all creeping things,
Loud exalt the King of Kings.

Warriors fighting for the Lord,
Prophets burning with His word,
Men and women, young and old,
Raise the anthem manifold.

Kings of knowledge and of law,
To the glorious circle draw;
All who work and all who wait,
Sing, "The Lord is good and great."

From the north to southern pole
Let the mighty chorus roll --
Holy, Holy, Holy One,
Glory be to God alone!
