I

Let all the world abroad

In cheerful praise unite

To bless the name of God,

Creator, Lord of might.

II

He made the sea and land,

The pastures rolling wide,

The mountains towering, grand,

The streams that ceaseless glide;

III

The cattle on the hills,

The flocks afield that rove,

The birds, whose music fills

The silence of the grove;

IV

The heavens that, day and night,

His matchless power declare,

The sun and moon, whose light

Illumines everywhere.

V

Let man, creation’s lord,

His rightful homage give

To Him Whose mighty word

First called his soul to live.

VI

And with the heavenly host,

Our Sovereign Lord adore,

And Son, and Holy Ghost,

Both now, and evermore.
