I wrote it with the tune "Easter Hymn (Lyra Davidica)" in mind. Classically known for its association with Wesley's hymn "Christ the Lord is risen today".
That is good. The title evoked for me the antitheses of the Prayer of St. Francis. The floriregium form is also very nice.
It almost feels like it should be explicitly Trinitarian though. I think that the first stanza could be directed to the Father and the fourth to the Spirit without damaging your metre and giving the movement of the poem from Creation to the End a little more punch. I really like it a lot.
Amen and amen! Alleluia!
Amen indeed and always!
You could set it to music like Bach did back in the day. A nice chorale would fit it well!

Good thoughts!
