Be praised, my Lord, through Sister Moon and the stars; in the heavens you have made them, precious and beautiful. St Francis of Assisi

Praise the Lord!

Praise the Lord from the heavens!

Praise him from the skies!

Praise him, all his angels!

Brother moon

Shine down your light on us tonight

Show us the love of God

Sister sun you bring out the day

You're shining the light of God on your face today

Maker of it all

You provide it all

In You we live

In You we move

In You we have our being

You're glorious

You're holding us together all together

Brother wind your clouds and your storms

You're breathing the breath of God in your lungs for us

Mother earth, you're giving us life with God's open hand you

always provide for us

Maker of it all

You provide it all

In You we live

In You we move

In You we have our being

You're glorious

You're holding us together all together

You are everything good, you are everything beautiful

You are everything, you're everything

              Sentence Prayer                       (Based on Psalm 148)

We gather to praise you O God,

for all the things we can see, and sometimes understand:

the sun, moon and stars; the clouds and changing weather:

We join in their eternal chorus of praise to God.

We gather to praise you, O God,

for all the things that we cannot see or understand:

all heaven’s angels, outer space; and the skies above us;

We join in their eternal chorus of praise to God.

We gather to praise you O God,

for all the things in life that we experience:

the created world, people of all ages and circumstances,

all God’s creations.

We join in their eternal chorus of praise to God:

whose name is glorious, and whose ways are holy. Amen.
