Let wind and air and cloud and calm and weathers all, repeat the psalm. 4 By sister water be thou blessed, most humble, useful, precious, chaste; be praised by brother fire; jocund is he, robust and bright, and strong to lighten all the night. 5 By mother earth my Lord be praised; governed by thee she hath upraised what for our life is needful. Sustained by thee, through every hour, she bringeth forth fruit, herb, and flower. 6 My Lord be praised by those who prove in free forgivingness their love, nor shrink from tribulation. Happy, who peaceably endure; with thee, Lord, their reward is sure. 7 For death our sister, praised be, from whom no one alive can free. Woe to the unprepared! But blest be they who do thy will and follow thy commandments still. 8 Most high, omnipotent, good Lord, to thee be ceaseless praise outpoured, and blessing without measure. Let creatures all give thanks to thee, and serve in great humility. Topics: Creation; Creation; Gathering of the Community; Praise of God; Song of creation Used With Tune: ASSISI
