About this Hymn
These words were written for a choral anthem by Katherine K. Davis, who also composed the arrangement of this Welsh tune known popularly as "The Ash Grove." It is a song of praise to our Creator and, much like "All Creatures of Our God and King," invites all creation to join the celebration.
Lyrics
Verse 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, till shadows have vanished and darkness is banished, as forward we travel from light into light.
Verse 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, till all things now living unite in thanksgiving to God in the highest, hosanna and praise!
