Columban of Iona

Prayer St. Columban of Iona

Lord, Thou art my island; in Thy bosom I
rest.
Thou art the calm of the sea;
in that peace I stay.
Thou art the deep waves
of the shining ocean.
With their eternal sound I sing.
Thou art the song of the birds; in that tune
is my joy.
Thou art the smooth white strand of the
shore;
in Thee is no gloom.
Thou art the breaking of the waves on the
rock;
Thy praise is echoed in the swell.
Thou art the Lord of my life
