560- Let All Things Now Living
Christian Life: Thankfulness
1
- 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.
2
- 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.
