An invitation of all the creatures of the world, to praise God.

O Praise the Lord of heaven: praise him in the height.

3 Praise him sun and moon: praise him all ye stars and light.

4 Praise him all ye heavens: and ye waters that bee above the heavens.

5 Let them praise the Name of the Lord: for he spake the word, and they were made: he commanded, and they were created.

6 He hath made them fast for ever and ever: he hath given them a law which shall not be broken.

7 Praise the Lord upon earth: yee dragons and all deeps.

8 Fire and hail, snow and vapours: winde and storm, fulfilling his word.

9 Mountains and all hils: fruitfull trees, and all ce∣dars.

10 Beasts and all cattell: worms and feathered fowls.

11 Kings of the earth, and all people: princes and all judges of the world.

12 Young men and maidens, old men and children, praise the name of the Lord: for his name onely is excel∣lent, and his praise above heaven and earth.

13 He shall exalt the horn of his people, all his saints shall praise him: even the children of Israel, even the people that serveth him.

The Prayer.

O Lord God, whose Name onely is excel∣lent, and thy praise above heaven and earth, we adore and blesse thy mercy and thy power for creating us after thine own Image: thou spakest the word, and we were made: thou commandedst, and we were created: and as thou hast established thy Creation with a Law for ever, that all should minister to thy praises in their severall proportions; so give us grace that the laws of sanctity, of faith, and obedience, which thou hast given to us, may never be broken, that we serving thee not onely in the order of thy creatures, but in the capacity of thy children, may sing thy praises amongst the Angels and the numerous host of Saints reigning in thy Kingdome for ever and ever. Amen.
