| Exhortation To The Praise Of God |
| Fear the Lord and give Him Honor. The Lord is worthy to receive praise and honor. All you who fear the Lord, praise Him. Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you. Heaven and earth, praise Him. All you rivers, praise Him. All you children of God, bless the Lord. This is the day which the Lord has made, let us exalt and rejoice in it! Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia! O King of Israel Let every spirit praise the Lord. Praise the Lord for He is good; all you who read this, bless the Lord. All you creatures, bless the Lord. All you children, praise the Lord. Young men and virgins, praise the Lord. The Lamb Who was slain is worthy to receive praise, glory, and honor. Blessed be the holy Trinity and undivided Unity. Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in Battle. |
