Lyrics (Psalm 104:1, 24, 29-30, 31, 34):

Response: Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth. (or) Alleluia.

stained glass bulletBless the LORD, O my soul!
O LORD, my God, you are great indeed!
How manifold are your works, O LORD!
the earth is full of your creatures;

stained glass bulletMay the glory of the LORD endure forever;
may the LORD be glad in his works!
Pleasing to him be my theme;
I will be glad in the LORD.

stained glass bulletIf you take away their breath, they perish
and return to their dust.
When you send forth your spirit, they are created,
and you renew the face of the earth.
