1 Glory be to God on high, Alleluia!
Let the whole creation cry, Alleluia!
Peace and blessing He has giv'n, Alleluia!
Earth repeat the songs of heav'n, Alleluia!

2 Creatures of the field and flood, Alleluia!
Earth and sea cry "God is good," Alleluia!
Toiling pilgrims raise the song, Alleluia!
Saints in light the strain prolong, Alleluia!

3 Stars that have no voice to sing, Alleluia!
Give their glory to our King, Alleluia!
Silent pow'rs and angels’ song, Alleluia!
All unto our God belong, Alleluia!

Amen.
