PRAISES OF GOD IN HIS CREATURES Most High, Almighty, good Lord, Thine be the praises, the glory, the honour, And all blessing. To Thee alone, Most High, are they due, And no man is worthy To speak Thy Name. Praise to Thee, my Lord, for all Thy creatures, Above all, Brother Sun Who brings us the day and lends us his light. Lovely is he, radiant with great splendour And speaks to us of Thee, 0 Most High. Praise to Thee; my Lord, for Sister Moon and the stars Which Thou hast set in the heavens, Clear, precious, and fair. Praise to Thee, my Lord, for Brother Wind, For air and cloud, for calm and all weather, By which Thou supportest life in all Thy creatures. Praise to Thee, my Lord, for Sister Water, Who is so useful and humble, Precious and pure. Praise to Thee, my Lord, for Brother Fire, By whom Thou lightest the night; He is lovely and pleasant, mighty and strong. Praise to Thee, my Lord, for our sister Mother Earth Who sustains and directs us, And brings forth varied fruits, and coloured flowers and plants. Praise to Thee, my Lord, for those who pardon one another For love of Thee, and endure Sickness and tribulation. Blessed are they who shall endure it in peace, For they shall be crowned by Thee, l a 0 Most High. Praise to Thee, my Lord, for our Sister bodily Death From whom no man living may escape: Woe to those who die in mortal sin. Blessed are they who are found in Thy most holy will, For the second death cannot harm them. Praise and bless my Lord, Thank Him and serve Him With great humility Saint Francis of Assisi
