Your morning rises with a song, and lights of evening sing along, sing your praises

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.

sing your praises, Alleluia!

As savory fruit and fragrant flower show forth your glory and your power,

singing your praises, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.

5. Now we how are of tender heart, forgiving others, take our part,

sing your praises, Alleluia!

To you we lift our paid and care, receive the burdens that we bear, singing praises, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.
