Let All Things Now Living
by Katherine K. Evans
~
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 guideth us on 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,
‘til shadows have vanished and darkness is banished,
as forward we travel from light into light.
~
His law He enforces: the stars in their courses,
the sun in His 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,
‘til all things now living unite in thanksgiving
to God in the highest, hosanna and praise.
