Tune: Lasst Uns Erfreuen
('All creatures of our God and King')
********
We lift our hearts, voices, to you
Give you our lives, come, them renew
Alleluia, Alleluia
Drawing on resources rich, fine
We praise your name, it be divine
And to you fresh we do align
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
O come help, kindle [where] sparks low, dim
To glorify your Son, 'tis Him
Alleluia, Alleluia
Christ Jesus, He our Saviour here
We wait His return to appear
We shall love, praise in holy fear
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
Move in each heart, each penitent
Your Spirit working, no relent
Alleluia, Alleluia
To change us more to image true
Of your Son, daily us renew
You give us good things not a few
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
Help us, empower, where we weak
Inspire us more your way to seek
Alleluia, Alleluia
You Lord of life, you have a plan
For each one, child, woman, and man
Lifted now is the curse, the ban
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
Looking not sole on outward things
Yet whate'er they be, our soul sings
Alleluia, Alleluia
Unto you still our Lord and King
You rule, reign, over everything
Our great thanks unto you we bring
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
Procession of praise marches on
Even when earthly days are gone
Alleluia, Alleluia
For eternal life do you give
They who believe in you shall live
Forgiving us as we forgive
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
Let all creation your name praise
And songs of joy to you upraise
Alleluia, Alleluia
Creator, Maker, Father too
You shall one day make all things new
Eternity to spend with you
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
