The glory of God in nature

Heaven praises the glory of Eternity;

its roar proclaims his name.

The earth praises Him, the seas praise Him;

listen, o man, to their divine words!

Who supports the uncountable stars of heaven?

Who guides the sun from its canopy?

It comes and shines, and laughs at us from afar,

and runs its course like a hero.

Listen and observe the wunders of the works

that Nature has established for you!

Do not wisdom, order and fortitude

announce to you the Lord, the Lord of the World?

Can you imagine the nature of countless beings,

the most insignificant dust, without feeling?

From whom did it all arise? O give him honor!

The Lord calls, "On me you shall rely."

Mine is the strength, mine is Heaven and Earth;

you know me by my works.

I am, and shall be, that which I shall be:

your God and Father eternal.

I am your Creator; I am wisdom and goodness,

a god of order and of your salvation.

I am that! Love me with your entire self,

and partake of my graciousness.
