ALL CREATURES OF OUR GOD AND KING



You can sing a song your entire life  and never feel a thing.  And then one day you sing it and the spirit completely swells within your being.  This happened to me today in Sacrament meeting.  I was overcome with gratitude for the beauty of this world my Father in Heaven has gifted to me.  I am here to exist in a body, to learn and to grow and to find my way back to Him.  I rejoice in the knowledge I possess and thank Him for an overflow of blessings.



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!

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

O praise Him! O praise Him!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!


Thou flowing water, pure and clear,
Make music for thy Lord to hear,
O praise Him! Alleluia!
Thou fire so masterful and bright,
That givest man both warmth and light

O praise Him! O praise Him!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!


Dear mother earth, who day by day
Unfoldest blessings on our way,
O praise Him! Alleluia!
The flowers and fruits that in thee grow,
Let them His glory also show.

O praise Him! O praise Him!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
