O all ye Beasts and Cattle, bless ye the Lord; praise Him and magnify Him for ever.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

O all ye Beasts and Cattle, bless ye the Lord; praise Him and magnify Him for ever.

Ye Beasts and Cattle, magnify
Your Lord and Master evermore;
Lions, that in the desert roar,
Proclaim His awful majesty—

135

And creatures fierce that ambushed lie
In woods, or haunt the reedy shore:
Ye Beasts and Cattle, magnify
Your Lord and Master evermore.
Ye flocks that range the mountains high,
Ye peaceful herds that wander o'er
A thousand hills, His Name adore—
Lowing and bleating to the sky:
Ye Beasts and Cattle, magnify
Your Lord and Master evermore.
