Psalm of the Cosmos
Psalm of the Cosmos | ||
The following prayer is reprinted with kind permission from the prayers page of Web of Creation: | ||
Loving God, loving God, | ||
all creation calls you blessed, | ||
and so do we, and so do we. | ||
Loving God, | ||
all your creation calls you blessed. | ||
Your spirit imprints the whole universe with life and mystery. | ||
Yes, all creation proclaims your love. | ||
We now join this chorus of praise. | ||
Loving God, | ||
all of nature calls you blessed, | ||
and so do we. | ||
For you have woven an intimate tapestry | ||
and call it life | ||
and called it good. | ||
In love you have formed a universe | ||
so diverse yet so related, | ||
and into its web you call us forth | ||
to walk the land and swim the sea | ||
with all our natural brothers and sisters. | ||
To the stars | ||
we seem no more than blades of grass. | ||
Yet to you, each of us, | ||
as each blade of grass and each star, | ||
is an irreplaceable treasure, | ||
an essential companion on this journey of love. | ||
Loving God, as you lure the whole world into salvation, | ||
guide us with your Spirit | ||
that we might not be only pilgrims on the earth, | ||
but pilgrims with the earth, | ||
journeying home to you. | ||
Open our hearts to understand | ||
the intimate relationship that you have with all creation. | ||
Only with this faith can we hope | ||
for tomorrow’s children. | ||
Amen. Alleluia! | ||
Loving God, loving God, | ||
all creation calls you blessed, | ||
and so do we, and so do we. |
