and what is the surpassing great power
toward us who believe
according to the working of his mighty strength…
…which (God) accomplished
in regard to Christ
by raising him from the dead people
and
by seating him at his right
in the heavenly places
far above
every ruler
and authority
and power
and dominion
and every name
that is named
not only in this age
but also in the one to come
and h e subjected every thing
under his feet
and he gave him as head
over all things
to the church
which is his body,
the fullness
from the one who fills all things
in all ways.
Be thou a bright flame before me,
Be thou a guiding star above me
Be thou a smooth path below me
Be thou a kindly shepherd behind me
Today – tonight -forever
Amen.
St Columba
