Praise God from whom all blessings flow --
Praise Him all creatures here below.
Praise Him above, ye heavenly hosts...
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
::
------------------------------------------
We'd praise him to eternity...
plants, beasts, and minerals all agree.
his honor highest beings sing
to this baffling love, this unknown thing.
-------------------------------------------
praise God, he gives us all we need.
from all his peoples, praise proceeds.
the sky declares his greatest name-
all different views proclaim the same.
------------------------------------------
praise him who loves to give us things.
we here on earth fly on his wings,
and as angels, sing his holy praise:
his ways are surely not our ways.
------------------------------------------
praise him who can do naught but good
we stand in awe, and so we should
e'en angels cannot know his might --
this triune God, this shaft of light.

[[just so you know, if you are trying to interpret this, these are not simply my take on new verses for the doxology. they did come out rhyming, but my original intent was to differently state what these well known and potentially worn-out lyrics can mean to me. each line is crafted after the coinciding line from the original. ok, just thought you should know.:]]
