Hymn We Praise You, O God VU 218
Opening
Prayer We pray together the bolded words
Entoure-nous,
Enlace-nous, Dieu.
Immisce-toi
dans le moindre espace en nous.
Éblouis nos
sentiers des feux estivaux de tes épiphanies,
Et
accorde-nous, dans ta bienveillance, de savoir les discerner.
Orchestrateur
divin, ta mélodie s’élève dans le murmure des bois, le clapotis
des rivières et le bruissement ondulé des champs.
Tu es ici. Nous
sommes ici.
Enveloppe-nous
de ton amour.
Encircle us.
Embrace us, God.
Visit us in
small spaces.
Splash
summertime epiphanies on our paths.
Grace us to see
them.
Music-maker
God, sing through our forests,
splash in our
rivers, dance in our fields.
You are here.
We are here.
Encircle us
with your love. Amen.

Corbett, Mark Street U.C.,
Peterborough, Ont.
