Brother Sun, Sister Moon


【Brother Sun and Sister Moon】

Brother Sun and Sister Moon,
I seldom see you, seldom hear your tune
Preoccupied with selfish misery.　

Brother Wind and Sister Air,
Open my eyes to visions pure and fair.
That I may see the glory around me.

I am God's creature, of him I am a part
I feel his love awaking in my heart

Brother Sun and Sister Moon
I now do see you, I can hear your tune
So much in love with all that I survey
