Oh all you Creatures of the Lord;
You Angels of the Lord most high;
You Heav’ns with what you do afford;
And Waters all above the sky:
Bless ye the LORD, Him praise, adore,
and magnify Him evermore.
[Of God you everlasting powers,
Sun, Moon, and stars, so bright that show;
you soaking dews, you dropping showers;
and all you winds of God that blow:
Bless ye the LORD, Him praise, adore,
and magnify Him evermore.
Thou Fire, and what doth heat contain;
cold Winter, and thou Summer fair;
you blust’ring storms of hail and rain;
and thou the frost-congealing air:
Bless ye the LORD, Him praise, adore,
and magnify Him evermore.
Oh praise Him both you ice and snow;
you nights and days, do you the same,
with what or dark or light doth show;
you clouds and ev’ry shining flame:
Bless ye the LORD, Him praise, adore,
and magnify Him evermore.]
Thou Earth, you mountains, and you hills,
and whatsoever thereon grows;
you fountains, rivers, springs, and rills;
you seas, and all that ebbs, or flows:
Bless ye the LORD, Him praise, adore,
and magnify Him evermore.
[You whales, and all the water yields;
you of the feather’d airy breed;
you beasts and cattle of the fields;
and you that are of human seed:
Bless ye the LORD, Him praise, adore,
and magnify Him evermore.]
Let Israel the LORD confess;
so let His priests, that in Him trust;
Him let His servants also bless;
ye souls and spirits of the just:
Bless ye the LORD, Him praise, adore,
and magnify Him evermore.
[You blessed Saints, His praises tell;
and you that are of humble heart,
with Ananias, Misael;
and Azarias (bearing part)
Bless ye the LORD, Him praise, adore,
and magnify Him evermore.]
