Watch your feet as you go to the house of God.
To draw near to listen
rather than giving a sacrifice like fools,
because there’s no knowing that they are doing something bad.
²Don’t be hasty with your mouth;
and your heart should not be quick to let out a word before God,
because God is in the heavens and you are on the earth.
Therefore your words should be few.
³Because a dream comes with an abundance of busyness,
so the voice of a fool (comes) with an abundance of words.

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
