Signing the Doxology

During Sunday morning worship, some people at Dumbarton like to "sign" (ASL - American Sign Language) the Doxology while it is sung (often after the Offertory). We do this to show our solidarity with those persons who are hearing challenged. Below are the words and major signs we use at Dumbarton. The tune is either Old Hundred, or the Tallis Canon with Alleluias interspersed with the words as indicated in the parentheses

Praise God from whom all Blessings flow
Praise God all creatures here below
(Alleluia, Alleluia)
Praise God above ye heavenly hosts
Creator, Christ and Holy Ghost.
(Alleluia, Alleluia)
