From sandy cove
From sandy cove and surfer’s wave
to sun-kissed cliff and moor;
from farmer’s field to ramblers’ path
and seagull’s cry to children’s laugh
the whole creation sings
the whole creation sings
Creator God, your name is heard,
in every wind that blows;
in summer breeze and sailor’s gales
we hear of love that never fails
and all creation sings
and all creation sings
From great cathedrals’ soaring praise
To voices cracked with age;
from chapel pulpit, market hall
our lives will echo one and all
that all creation sings
that all creation sings
To you, who spoke the Word of Life
and saw Creation grow;
to you who heard the new world ring
we offer all that we can bring
‘til all creation sings
‘til all creation sings
