1225 AD - Canticle of the Sun - Praise of the Creatures

Video was created in inspiration of St. Francis Canticle of the Sun. There is not the whole song, just some fragments.

The entire song can you read here:

Most high, all powerful, all good Lord!
All praise is yours, all glory, all honor, and all blessing.
To you, alone, Most High, do they belong.
No mortal lips are worthy to pronounce your name.
Be praised, my Lord, through all your creatures,
especially through my lord Brother Sun,
who brings the day; and you give light through him.
And he is beautiful and radiant in all his splendor!
Of you, Most High, he bears the likeness.
Be praised, my Lord, through Sister Moon and the stars;
in the heavens you have made them bright, precious and beautiful.
Be praised, my Lord, through Brothers Wind and Air,
and clouds and storms, and all the weather,
through which you give your creatures sustenance.
Be praised, My Lord, through Sister Water;
she is very useful, and humble, and precious, and pure.
Be praised, my Lord, through Brother Fire,
through whom you brighten the night.
He is beautiful and cheerful, and powerful and strong.
Be praised, my Lord, through our sister Mother Earth,
who feeds us and rules us,
and produces various fruits with colored flowers and herbs.
Be praised, my Lord, through those who forgive for love of you;
through those who endure sickness and trial.
Happy those who endure in peace,
for by you, Most High, they will be crowned.
Be praised, my Lord, through our Sister Bodily Death,
from whose embrace no living person can escape.
Woe to those who die in mortal sin!
Happy those she finds doing your most holy will.
The second death can do no harm to them.
Praise and bless my Lord, and give thanks,
and serve him with great humility.

I love this, have embedded it into my own page to return to. Beautiful expression of the prayer, and an aid to meditation. Thank you so much.

Music is from Zero Project, Ambient symphony. :) - Neverending dream?

Wow. Great short. I loved all the animation. Not so much the closing music. Yet, I wish I were able to create something like this for my ideas. Saint Francis' word, I bow. :-)

@flaviny Thanks for your feedback! :)

The words in 'The Canticle of the Sun- Praise of the Creatures,' by Saint Francis of Assisi..are Divine. The visuals and the music in this video..only enhance their beauty.

@matjazfegus Sorry, I was unaware that there was more than one track that had this melody on the album. Neverending Dream was the last song on there though.

Wow, this is beautiful. Where'd you find this version of Neverending Dream?
