“Let All Things Now Living” | HYMN of the week

Words: Katherine Davis
Tune name: Ash Grove (a traditional Welsh melody)

Let all things now living 
a song of thanksgiving 
to God the Creator triumphantly raise, 
who fashioned and made us, 
protected and stayed us, 
who guides us and leads to the end of our days. 
His banners are o’er us, 
his light goes before us, 
a pillar of fire shining forth in the night, 
till shadows have vanished 
and darkness is banished, 
as forward we travel from light into light.

His law he enforces; 
the stars in their courses 
and sun in its orbit obediently shine; 
the hills and the mountains, 
the rivers and fountains, 
the deeps of the ocean proclaim him divine. 
We too should be voicing 
our love and rejoicing; 
with glad adoration a song let us raise, 
till all things now living 
unite in thanksgiving: 
to God in the highest, hosanna and praise!

"Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord.
Praise ye the Lord."
Psalm 150:6
