Sunrise in mist -
a dance of the nearer skies
a dance of the nearer skies
Praise the Lord in the dances of the
Universe,
Stars and constellations streaming through
space;
All revolving to the rhythms of creation,
Wondrous signs of God’s creative grace.
Praise the Lord in the dances of our nearer
skies,
Aurora and sunscapes set the skies ablaze;
Their dazzling glories are but shadows of
the radiance
Of heaven, revealed in those aerial displays.
Praise the Lord in the dances of the landscape,
Waterfalls, clouds and falling leaves:
Gravity and winds combine with nature’s beauty,
Harmonies of grace when they gently interweave.
Praise the Lord in the dances of the ocean’s
depths,
Exquisite fish and creatures rare,
Colourful, colossal and many still unknown
to us,
Gliding round rocks and coral thoroughfares.
Praise the Lord in the dances of molecules,
Elements with particles too small to see;
Neutrons and protons, quarks and electrons,
And DNA configured in both you and me.
Praise the Lord in the dances of devotion,
Like David with vigour, leaping for the
Lord.
Childlike exuberance and deeply moving music,
Free some like him to dance and adore.
Praise the Lord in the dances of the angels,
With saints and elders round the throne of
grace,
Singing ‘Holy, holy, holy’, God’s eternal honouring,
A sacred, vibrant theme for the cosmos to
embrace.
