Song of Creation – Book of Common Prayer and Bless His Holy Name Psalm 103:1

 A Song of Creation

Benedicite, omnia opera Domini
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.

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.

Glorify the Lord, O nights and days,
O shining light and enfolding dark.
Storm clouds and thunderbolts, glorify the Lord,
praise him and highly exalt him for ever. 

The Earth and its Creatures

Let the earth glorify the Lord,
praise him and highly exalt him for ever.
Glorify the Lord,
O mountains and hills,
and all that grows upon the earth,
praise him and highly exalt him for ever.
Glorify the Lord,
O springs of water, seas, and streams,
O whales and all that move in the waters.
All birds of the air, glorify the Lord,
praise him and highly exalt him for ever.
Glorify the Lord, O beasts of the wild,
and all you flocks and herds
O men and women everywhere, glorify the Lord,
praise him and highly exalt him for ever.
The Book of Common Prayer, pages 88-89
