Morning Canticle

II    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.
