A SONG OF CREATION

INVOCATION

Glorify the Lord all you people, for you are the work of His hand;
Give praise to Him, O' people from every nation and from every land.
His divine power is seen on the earth and also in the firmament of the skies;
Let the joyful song of creation,before His mighty throne arise.

THE COSMIC ORDER

Give glory to God, O' you mighty angels who fly in heaven above;
Bless now and forever, God's great name. Forever extol His great love.
The sun, moon and stars all give off their beaming light;
Let us now bow down, and praise our God, for His power and might.

Glorify the Lord, every shower of rain, and every fall of the dew;
Give praise to the Lord, each day He makes all things new.
Give glory to God, O' winter snows and the summer winds;
Praise the God of creation. His grace and mercy never ends.

Glorify the Lord, O' chill and cold drops of dew and flakes of fallen snow;
Give praise to Him, all you who dwell upon the earth below.
Frost and cold,ice and sleet, all that falls from the sky;
Glorify the God of creation and lift His name on high.

Glorify the Lord, O' both the day and also the night;
O' enfolding dark,praise the Lord. O'sun, praise Him with shining light.
Praise Him, O' storm clouds that thunder, and lightening that crosses the sky;
Praise the God of creation, and lift up His name on high.

May all of creation show forth the Lord's power and will.
Glorify the Lord. Give glory to God, all that grows from the land;
Praise Him. All things on earth were created by His almighty hand.

Glorify the Lord, all that live on the land, and all that inhabit the sea;
Praise the Lord, who by His Word, called all things in heaven and earth to be.
Glorify the Lord, O' winged birds that fly in the air;
All things in creation have been made by God, and are under His care.

Glorify the Lord. Give glory, you beasts of every flock and heard;
For you were created by His most powerful and living Word.
O' men and women, praise the Lord. Praise the One whom you love and adore;
O' praise Him, and let all creation lift up His name forevermore.

Let the people's songs of joy, to the God of creation be raised.
Give praises to God. O' servants, open your mouths and let out a joyful cry;
Let your endless praises be given to the God who reigns on high.
Glorify the Lord, O' Spirit and you righteous soul;
For God leads you through the journey, on to the heavenly goal.
He shall bless you, O' people of thankful spirit and humble heart;
His grace is everlasting, and His mercy shall remain and never depart.
