I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.


Rejoice In All Your Works 

Every mouth that cries for food, 
Every lung that yearns for breath, 
Every eye that searches through the dark for light— 
All creation looks to you 
For its breath and for its food. 
From the goodness of Your hand we’re satisfied. 

Oh rejoice in all Your works, 
King of Heaven, King of Earth! 
Every creature You have made declares Your praise. 
We rejoice in all You’ve made, 
God of all-sustaining grace! 
With the mountain, sky, and sea, we sing Your praise! 

Every tree that thirsts for rain, 
Every bird that seeks its nest, 
Every heart that waits in hope to be made glad— 
All creation looks to You 
For its breath and for its food. 
From the goodness of Your hand we’re satisfied 

Oh rejoice in all Your works, 
King of Heaven, King of Earth! 
Every creature You have made declares Your praise. 
We rejoice in all You’ve made, 
God of all-sustaining grace! 
With the mountain, sky, and sea, we sing Your praise! 

May the pond’rings of my heart, 
And the song upon my lips, 
With the chorus of creation join in praise: 
To the God who made all things, 
To the Spirit who sustains, 
To the Son who over all creation reigns! 

Oh rejoice in all Your works, 
King of Heaven, King of Earth! 
Every creature You have made declares Your praise. 
We rejoice in all You’ve made, 
God of all-sustaining grace! 
With the mountain, sky, and sea, we sing Your praise!
