Let us with grateful hearts listen to this song and praise God the Father with the entire Creation. The Lyrics: 1. Sing out and praise the lord of creation, Ring out the notes with loud acclamation, Bring out the drums, the trumpets, the cymbals, Swing out the ropes and peal out for him bells! 2. Most High, O Lord, almighty most gracious, Bring we to you our worship and praises; Singing with joy we thank and acclaim you No man alive is worthy to name you! 3. Praise for the cosmic world that surrounds us, Chiefest for Brother Sun that astounds us: He is our day, your likeness shines through him: Praising his light, we sing you this new hymn. 4. Sister the Moon that gently shines o’er us Leading the stars now joins in our chorus; Brother the wind and clouds and the all weather All these rejoicing sing out together. 5. Praise for our Sister, praise you for Water Precious and meek, and useful, your daughter Praise be for Fire, our Brother that blazes Singing with joy your glory and praises 6. Praise for the Earth for ever unfolding Flowers and plants; sustaining, upholding Fruit-bearing tree; for all that is living Sister and Mother, always life- giving. 7. Praise you for those forgiveness bestowing, Your own good will proclaiming and showing; Patient when pains and trails surround them, They can await your laurel to crown them. 8. Praise you for Death, our Sister most kindly Leading your friends to heaven benignly Justice will she to sinful men render No one can flee when you choose to send her 9. Sing out Praise the Lord of Creation Ring out the notes with loud acclamation Bring out the drums, the trumpets, the cymbals Swing out the ropes and peal out for him bells!
