Thou flowing water pure and clear make music for thy Lord to hear, alleluia, alleluia! Thou fire so masterful and bright that givest man both warmth and light, O praise him, O praise him, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia! 4.

Thou leadest home the child of God, and Christ our Lord the way hath trod; O praise him, O praise him, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia! 5. Let all things their Creator bless, and worship him in humbleness; O praise him, alleluia!
