And god said
let the waters
under the heavens
gather to one place
and let the dry land appear
and it was so.
And god called the dry-land
‘earth’
and the gathered waters
he called
‘seas’
and God saw that it was good
And god said
let the land grow ‘grass’:
seed yielding plants
trees bearing fruit, with seed in them
according to their kinds
And it was so.
The land produced ‘grass’
seed yielding plants
trees bearing fruit, with seed in it,
according to their kinds
and God saw that it was good
An there was evening and morning
Day Three!
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
