Prayer of Rising

PRAYER AT RISING

Bless to me, O God,

Each thing mine eye sees;

Bless to me, O God,

Each sound mine ear hears;

Bless to me, O God,

Each odour that goes to my nostrils

Bless to me, O God,

Each taste that goes to my lips;

Each note that goes to my song,

Each ray that guides my way,

Each thing that I pursue.

Each lure that tempts my will,

The zeal that seeks my living soul.

The Three that seek my heart,

The zeal that seeks my living soul,

The Three that seek my heart.

(From Catherine Maclean, crofter, Naast, Gairloch)
