Prayer

From the Celtic Christian tradition, a prayer adapted from the fifth/sixth century.

You are the wind that breathes upon the sea,

You are the wave on the ocean,

You are the murmur of leaves rustiling,

You are the rays of the sun,

You are the beam of the moon and the stars,

You are the power of trees growing,

You are the bud breaking into blossom,

You are the movement of the salmon swimming,

You are the courage of the wild board fighting,

You are the speed of the stag running,

You are the strength of the ox pulling the plough,

You are the size of the mighty oak tree,

You are the thoughts of all people,

Who praise your beauty and grace.
