Suns of Great Brilliance
Can be sung to the tune ‘Bunessan’.
Suns of great brilliance pierce through our darkness,
From their colossal distance in space;
If their light dips it may be a planet
Making a transit of that star’s face.
Like ours, those suns may have many planets
Circling close or orbiting wide,
Rocky or gaseous, balmy or frigid,
Maybe benign or sterile to life.
Far in the future there may be humans
Making their way to planets afar:
Will they be stewards with good intentions,
Or will their greed those pristine worlds scar?
Pray that our race would honour the wonders
Of God’s creation’s beauty and worth,
Ever alert to how careless commerce
Threatens the fragile, as here on earth.
