 The Lord will be your everlasting light, *

   A Song of Creation  Benedicite, omnia opera Domini

Invocation

Glorify the Lord, all you works of the Lord, *
 * praise him and highly exalt him for ever.

In the firmament of his power, glorify the Lord, *
 * praise him and highly exalt him for ever.

I   The Cosmic Order

Glorify the Lord, you angels and all powers of the Lord, *
 * O heavens and all waters above the heavens.

Sun and moon and stars of the sky, glorify the Lord, *
 * praise him and highly exalt him for ever.

Glorify the Lord, every shower of rain and fall of dew, *
 * all winds and fire and heat.

Winter and summer, glorify the Lord, *
 * praise him and highly exalt him for ever.

Glorify the Lord, O chill and cold, *
 * drops of dew and flakes of snow.

Frost and cold, ice and sleet, glorify the Lord, *
 * praise him and highly exalt him for ever.
