English text
1. Oh all you Creatures of the LORD,
You Angels of the God most high;
You Heav'ns with what you doe afford;
And Waters all above the skie:
R.: Blesse ye the Lord, him praise, adore,
And magnifie him ever more.
2. Of God you everlasting Powers,
Sunne, Moone, and Starres, so bright that show;
You soking Deawes, you dropping Showres;
And all you Winds of God that blow:
R.
3. Thou Fire, and what doth heat containe;
Cold Winter, and the Summer faire:
You blustering Stormes of Haile, and Raine;
And thou the Frost congealing Ayre:
R.
4. Oh praise him both you Ice and Snow;
You Nights and Dayes, doe you the same,
With what or Darke or Light doth show;
You Cloudes, and ev'ry shining Flame:
R.
5. Thou Earth, you Mountaines, and you Hills,
And whatsoever thereon grows;
You Fountaines, Rivers, Springs and Rills;
You Seas, and all that ebbes, or flowes:
R.
6. You whales, and all the Water yeelds;
You of the Feather'd airybreed;
You Beasts and Cattle of the fields;
And you that are of humane seed:
R.
7. Let Israel the LORD confesse;
So let his Priests, that in him trust;
Him let his Servants also blesse;
Yea, Soules and spirits of the Just:
R.
8. You blessed Saints, his praises tell;
And you that are of humble hart,
With Ananias, Misael;
And Azarias (bearing part)
R.
