257. Let the Whole Creation Cry

1 Let the whole creation cry: Alleluia!
"Glory to the Lord on high!" Alleluia!
Heav'n and earth, awake and sing, Alleluia!
God is God and therefore King, Alleluia!

2 Praise Him, all ye hosts above, Alleluia!
Ever bright and fair in love! Alleluia!
Sun and moon, lift up your voice, Alleluia!
Night and stars, in God rejoice, Alleluia!

3 Warriors fighting for the Lord, Alleluia!
Prophets burning with His Word, Alleluia!
Those to whom the arts belong, Alleluia!
Add their voices to the song, Alleluia!

4 Men and women, young and old, Alleluia!
Raise the anthem manifold; Alleluia!
And let children’s happy hearts, Alleluia!
In this worship bear their parts: Alleluia!
