Some walks in Vermont gave me these wonderful views and a reminder of the wonders of God's Creation,
"Oh ye works of the Lord, praise him and exalt him forever."
"Oh ye works of the Lord, praise him and exalt him forever."
A Song of Creation Benedicite, omnia opera Domini
Song of the Three Young Men
I
Invocation
O all ye works of the Lord, bless ye the Lord; *
praise him and magnify him for ever.
O ye angels of the Lord, bless ye the Lord; *
praise him and magnify him for ever.
II The Cosmic Order
O ye heavens, bless ye the Lord; *
O ye waters that be above the firmament, bless ye the Lord;
O all ye powers of the Lord, bless ye the Lord; *
praise him and magnify him for ever.
O ye sun and moon, bless ye the Lord; *
O ye stars of heaven, bless ye the Lord;
O ye showers and dew, bless ye the Lord; *
praise him and magnify him for ever.
(from the Book of Common Prayer, 1979)
