Antiphon: Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.\nPraise the Lord our God in heaven above for ever!\nBless him ye angels, bless him you Heaven,\nBless him ye sun and stars,\nEvery drop of dew and each snow-flake\nBless the Lord for ever.\n2. Bless him ye winds of earth, bless him ye fire and heat,\nBless him the icy cold,\nLightning and mighty thunders\nBless the Lord for ever\n27\n3. Ye mountains bless the Lord, all hills and forests dark,\nYe dancing fountains,\nAll you rivers and oceans\nBless the Lord for ever.\n4. Bless him all growing things, all creatures, bless the Lord\nYe birds of heaven above,\nAll you that live in waters\nBless the Lord for ever.\n5. Bless him, O sons of men, bless him, O Israel,\nYe priests, O bless the Lord,\nServants of the Lord, in his holy temple,\nEver praise him.\n6. Bless him ye righteous ones, bless him, his faithful,\nAll poor and humble\nTrusting in his word,\nIn his love abiding,\nEver praise him.
