SPLENDOUR OF CREATION

Send forth your Spirit, O Lord,

That the face of the earth be renewed.

O my soul, arise and bless the Lord God,

O Lord, in majesty,

Enrobed with pow'r and eternal might.

You are clothed with splendour and with beauty;

O God, and heav'nly light

Is like a cloud that conceals your face.

You have built your palace on the waters;

On wings of winds and fire,

You reign in heav'n, rule supreme on earth.

Like the winds, your angels fly before you;

As fire and flaming light,

Your ministers stand before your throne.

For the earth you fixed on its foundations;

Indeed, it shall stand firm,

And not be moved for unending years.

While I live, I sing the praise of Yahweh,

O Lord, your glorious praise

My lips proclaim: Blessed be the Lord.

Praise to God, the author of these marvels,

To God, the mighty One,

Who made the earth, glory to his name.
