Antiphon "Laudans laudare monuit" for the feast of Saint Francis

Laudans laudare monuit
laus illi semper adfuit
laus inquam salvatoris
invitat aves bestias
et creaturas alias ad laudem conditoris.

Praising, he taught [us] to praise;
He was always praising;
Praise, I say, of the savior;
He invites birds, beasts,
And other creatures to praise the Creator.
