At first
god created
the heavens and the earth
and the earth was unorganised and empty
and darkness was upon the face of the Deep
and the Spirit of God hovered over the face of the waters.
Grant, Lord,
that we may hold to you without parting,
worship you without wearying,
serve you without failing;
faithfully seek you,
happily find you,
and forever possess you,
the only God,blessed now and for ever.
Amen
St Anselm
