Who makes Thy Angels spirits:
Thy Ministers a Burning Fire.
Who hast founded the Earth upon its

DIVINE LITURGY OF THE PRESANCTIFIED GIFTS
The mountains ascend, and the plains
descend into the place which Thou
hast founded for them.
Thou hast set a boundary, which they
shall not pass over; neither shall
they return to cover the earth.
Thou sends forth springs in the valleys:
between the midst of the hills the
waters shall pass.
All the beasts of the field shall drink:
the wild asses shall expect in their
thirst
Over them the birds of the air shall
dwell: from the midst of the rocks
they shall give forth their voices.
Thou waters the hills from Thy Upper
Rooms: the earth shall be filled with
the Fruit of Thy Works: bringing
forth grass for cattle, and herb for
the service of mankind.
That Thou may bring forth bread out of
the earth: and that wine may cheer
the heart of man.
That he may make the face cheerful
with oil: and that bread may
strengthen man’s heart.
The trees of the field shall be filled, and
the cedars of Lebanon, which He
planted: there the sparrows shall
make their nests. The highest of
them is the nest of the heron.
the rock for the hares.
He made the moon for seasons: the
sun knows its setting.
Thou hast appointed darkness, and it is
night: in it shall all the beasts of the
woods go about: the young lions
roaring after their prey, and seeking
their meat from God.
sun rises, and they are gathered
together: and they shall lie down in
their dens.
Man shall go forth to his work, and to
his labour until the evening.
How great art Thy Works, O Lord! Thou
hast made all things in Wisdom: the
earth is filled with Thy Riches.
