Canticle of the Sun

Sambayanihan-Filipino Ministry of St Mary
(Huntley)

Canticle of the Sun - Marty Haugen
Translated into ASL by David Bar-Tzur


Refrain:

The heavens are telling the glory of God,
and all creation is shouting for joy.
Come dance in the forest,
come, play in the field,
and sing, sing to the glory of the Lord.

Praise for the sun, the bringer of day,
he carries the light of the Lord in his rays;
the moon and the stars who light up the way unto your throne.

(Refrain)

Praise for the wind that blows through the trees,
the seas mighty storms, the gentlest breeze;
they blow where they will, they blow where they please to please the Lord.

(Refrain)

Praise for the rain that waters our fields,
and blesses our crops so all the earth yields;
from death unto life her mystery revealed springs forth in joy.

(Refrain)

Praise for the fire who gives us his light,
the warmth of the sun to brighten our night;
he dances with joy, his spirit so bright, he sings of you.

(Refrain)

I *love* this song! We don't get to sing it often :( The choir director doesn't like it.

I've got a video from 1992 of this song, performed by young dancers in a Catholic Church to open Mass on Easter Sunday that year (in Las Vegas)...how can I download that video on here? What type of equipment do I need to obtain?
