Wendell Kimbrough’s setting of Psalm 104 won the COS New Psalm Contest in 2014. Since then, I’ve arranged this song for strings, brass, and choir. These arrangements bring out a whole new majestic side to the song.

1. Every mouth that cries for food,
every lung that yearns for breath,
every eye that searches through the dark for light:
all creation looks to you
for its breath and for its food.
From the goodness of your hand
we’re satisfied.

Oh, rejoice in all your works,
King of heaven, King of earth.
Every creature you have made
declares your praise.
We rejoice in all you’ve made,
God of all-sustaining grace.
With the mountain, sky, and sea,
we sing your praise.

2. Every tree that thirsts for rain,
every bird that seeks its nest,
every heart that waits in hope
to be made glad:
All creation looks to you
for its breath and for its food.
From the goodness of your hand
we’re satisfied.

3. May the ponderings of my heart
and the song upon my lips
with the chorus of creation
join in praise
to the God who made all things,
to the Spirit who sustains,
to the Son who over all
creation reigns.
