Canticle of Creatures by St. Francis of Assisi

Most High, All-powerful, All-Good, Lord!All praise is Yours,all glory, all honorAnd all blessing. To You alone, Most High, do they belong.No mortal lips are worthyTo pronounce your name. All praise be Yours, my Lord, through all that You have made,And first my lord Brother Sun,Who brings the day; and light you give to us through him.How beautiful is he, how radiant in all his splendor!Of You, Most High, he bears the likeness. All praise be Yours, my Lord, through Sister Moon and Stars;In the heavens You have made them, brightAnd precious and fair. All praise be Yours, my Lord, through Brothers Wind and Air,And fair and stormy, all the weather’s moods,By which You cherish all that You have made. All praise be Yours, my Lord, through Sister Water,So useful, lowly,precious, and pure. All praise be Yours, my Lord, through Brother Fire,Through whom You brighten up the night.How beautiful he is, how happy!Full of power and strength. All praise be Yours, my Lord, through Sister Earth, our mother,Who feeds us in her sovereignty and producesVarious fruits and colored flowers and herbs. All praise be Yours, my Lord,through those who grant pardonFor love of You;through those who endureSickness and trial. Happy those who endure in peace,By You, Most High,they will be crowned. All praise be Yours, my Lord,through Sister Death-of-the-Body,From whose embraceno mortal can escape.Woe to those who diein mortal sin,Happy those She findsdoing Your holy will!The second death can dono harm to them. Praise and bless my Lord,and give Him thanks,And serve Him with great humility. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRDxpmV27p8
