Il Cantico Delle Creature

To you alone, Good Lord
Are fitting glory and honor
To You every praise and blessing
To You alone are fitting
For You are the Most High
And no man is worthy
To mention You

Praised be My Lord
With Your creatures
Especially Brother Sun
And his light

You enlighten us with him
Who is beauty and splendor
Of You, Most High Lord
He bears the mark

Praised be My Lord
For sister Moon and Stars
That You have formed in heaven
Bright and beautiful

Praised be for Brother Wind
Air, clouds, and bad weather
That give sustenance to Your creatures

Praised be My Lord
For our sister Water
She is chaste, very useful
And precious

Praised be for Brother Fire
That illuminates our night
And is beautiful, joyful
And robust and strong

Praised be My Lord
For our Mother Earth
She who sustains us
And governs us

Praised be My Lord
Various fruits she produces
Many colorful flowers
And green grass

Praised be for those
Who forgive for Your love
Enduring infirmity
And tribulation

And blessed are those
Who will walk in peace
Who from You, Good Lord
Will receive a crown

Praised be My Lord
For Physical Death
For from it no one who lives
Can escape

And blessed will be those
In Your will
That Sister Death
Will not harm them
