Creation Considerations

Tune: Lasst Uns Erfreuen

(\'All creatures of our God and King\')

Psalm 104 v.1-9

*****************

Bless the Lord, O my soul, Him bless

All that is within me confess

Alleluia, Alleluia!

Bless His holy name, O my soul

He has made all things entire, whole

His majesty, honour extol

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

 

He covers Himself with the light

As a garment exceeding bright

Alleluia, Alleluia!

Stretches out heaven as curtain

And lays beams of His chambers then

In the waters, works shown to men

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

 

He makes the clouds His chariots

In the skies celestial things set

Alleluia, Alleluia!

He walks upon the wind, its wings

Appoints the seasons, what each brings

All creation unto Him sings

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

 

He makes His angels spirits fair

And His ministers flaming fire

Alleluia, Alleluia!

They who do serve Him, who had laid

Foundations of earth, here arrayed

So it not shaken e\'er, but staid

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

 

He covered the earth with the deep

When floods their limits did not keep

Alleluia, Alleluia!

Yet if was of His ordaining

Waters in Noah\'s time did bring

The Lord did show Himself as King

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

 

At His rebuke thy fled away

Leading to all gradual dry day

Alleluia, Alleluia!

He has set a boundary so

The waters do their limits know

Further than He says they not go

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
