A Song of Thanksgiving

Let All Things Now Living
Music: Welsh Tune Ash Grove
Text: Katherine K. Davis (1939)

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 guides us and leads 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

His law He enforces.
The stars in their courses,
The sun in its 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
