Let All Things Now Living
Let all things now living
A song of thanksgiving
To God the Creator
Triumphantly raise;
Who fashioned and made us,
Protected and stayed us,
Who still guides us on to
The end of our days.
God’s banners are o’er us;
His light goes before us –
A pillar of fire shining forth in the night –
Till shadows have vanished and darkness is
Banished, As forward we travel
From light into light.

His law He enforces;
The stars in their courses
And sun in its orbit
Obediently shine.
The hills and the mountains,
The rivers and fountains,
The deeps of the ocean
Proclaim Him divine.
We, too, should be voicing
Our love and rejoicing;
With glad adoration a song let us raise
Till all things now living
Unite in thanksgiving:
“To God in the highest,
Hosanna and praise!”
