Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. (b. 1944) Hymnal: Wonder, Love, and Praise #885 (1997) Topics: Service Music Canticles First Line: Let all creation bless the Lord Lyrics: 1 Let all creation bless the Lord,
till heav’n with praise is ringing.
Sun, moon, and stars, peal out a chord,
stir up the angels’ singing.
Sing, wind and rain! Sing, snow and sleet!
Make music, day, night, cold and heat:
exalt the God who made you.
2 All living things upon the earth,
green fertile hills and mountains,
sing to the God who gave you birth;
be joyful, springs and fountains.
Lithe water life, bright airborne birds,
wild roving beast, tame flocks and herds:
exalt the God who made you.
3 O men and women everywhere,
lift up a hymn of glory;
let all who know God’s steadfast care
tell our salvation’s story.
No tongue be silent; sing your part,
you humble souls and meek of heart;
exalt the God who made you. Languages: English Tune Title: WHITEHEAD
