Let All Things Now Living
words by Katherine K. Davis, traditional Welsh melody
Original key: F - Guitars capo @ 1st fret
Verse 1:
E C#m F#m B
Let all things now living a song of thanksgiving
E A B E
To God the Creator triumphantly raise,
C#m F#m B
Who fashioned and made us, protected and stayed us,
E A B E
Who guideth us on to the end of our days.
A B
His banners are o'er us, His light goes before us,
E C#m F# B
A pillar of fire shining forth in the night,
E C#m F#m B
'Til shadows have vanished and darkness is banished,
E A B E
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,
'Til all things now living unite in thanksgiving
To God in the highest, hosanna and praise!
