Franciscan Prayers:

All Creatures of our God and King

All creatures of our God and king,

Lift up your voices let us sing;

Alleluia, alleluia.

Bright burning sun with golden beams,

Soft silver moon that gently gleams;

O praise him,

O praise him;

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

Great rushing winds who are so strong,

You clouds above that sail along;

O praise him, alleluia.

Fair rising morn, with praise rejoice,

Stars nightly shining, find a voice;

O praise him, O praise him;

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

Swift flowing water, pure and clear,

Make music for your Lord to hear;

Alleluia, alleluia.

Fire so intense and fiercely bright,

Who gives to us both warmth and light.

O praise him,

O praise him;

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia .

Dear mother earth, who day by day

Unfold your blessings on our way.

O praise him, alleluia.

All flowers and fruits that in you grow,

Let them his glory also show.

O praise him, O praise him;

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

Let all things their creator bless,

And worship him in humbleness.

O praise him, alleluia.

Praise God the Father, praise the Son,

And praise the Spirit, three in one.

O praise him,

O praise him,

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
