The Yes of the Heart ‎#3

3. Praise God for you, my Brother Sun

1. Praise God for you, my Brother Sun
   you are the gift of days —
   A touch of God each time I feel
   the warmth within your rays.
   A touch of God each time I feel
   the warmth within your rays.

2. Praise God for you, my Sister Moon
   and all my Sister Stars.
   From your clear light all beauty shines:
   Reflected grace is ours.
   From your clear light all beauty shines:
   Reflected grace is ours.

3. Praise God for you, my Brother Wind
   for storm and breeze and cloud.
   Lifegiving is the Breath of God
   that blows away death's shroud.
   Lifegiving is the Breath of God
   that blows away death's shroud.

4. My Water Sister, hear this song
   above your gentle flow.
   You do not seem to realize
   the love of God you show!
   You do not seem to realize
   the love of God you show!

5. Praise God for you, my Brother Fire.
   You burn away the night.
   Through heat and flame you prove your strength
   and bring my soul delight.
   Through heat and flame you prove your strength
   and bring my soul delight.

6. Praise God for you, Dear Mother Earth
   sustaining globe and friend.
   All Eden's fragrance stems from you
   as God's own sweet Amen.
   All Eden's fragrance stems from you
   as God's own sweet Amen.
