Refrain:
The heavens are telling the glory of God, and all creation is shouting for joy. Come, dance in the forest, come
play in the field, and sing sing to the glory of the Lord

Praise for the sun, the bringer of day, he carries the light of the Lord in his rays; the moon and the stars who light up the way unto your throne.
(Refrain)

Praise for the wind that blows through the trees, the seas’ mighty storms, the gentlest breeze; they blow where they will, they blow where they please to please the Lord.
(Refrain)

Praise for the rain that waters our fields, and blesses our crops so all the earth yields; from death unto life her myst’ry revealed springs forth in joy.
Refrain:

Praise for the fire who gives us his light, the warmth of the sun to brighten our night; he dances with joy, his
spirit so bright, he sings of you.
Refrain

Praise for the earth who makes life to grow, the creatures you made to let your life show; the flowers and trees that
help us to know the heart of love
Refrain:

Praise for our death that makes our life real, the knowledge of loss that helps us to feel; the gift of yourself, your
presence revealed to bring us home.
