O all ye works of the Lord,
bless ye the Lord;
praise him and magnify him for ever.O ye angels of the Lord,
bless ye the Lord;
praise him and magnify him for ever.O ye heavens, bless ye the Lord;
O ye waters that be above the firmament
bless ye the Lord;O all ye powers of the Lord,
bless ye the Lord;
praise him and magnify him for ever.O ye sun and moon,
bless ye the Lord;
O ye stars of heaven,
bless ye the Lord;– Excerpt, traditional canticle, “Benedicite, Omnia Opera Domini,” courtesy of Hymnary.org
Whether you are still enjoying summer rest, or diving into fall preparation, we hope you find something to meditate on in this canticle encouraging all God’s works to praise Him. As the Emerging Scholars Network (ESN) prepares for fall, we want to remember that all our work and rest points to God, and that all of God’s works point us to worship. May your rest and preparation be rich with God’s presence!
