Draw us, O God,
swiftly
As the river is drawn
to the sea. |
|
| |
|
Silence us, O God
deeply
As the depths of the river
are silent. |
| |
Sing to us, O God,
sweetly
As the river sings
in the valley. |
|
| |
|
Nourish us, O God,
fully
as the river nourishes the land. |
| |
Caress us, O God,
lovingly
As the river caresses
its stones. |
|
| |
|
Cleans us, O God
totally
as the river is cleansed
each day. |
| |
Stay with us, O God,
always
Even as we depart
from this river. |
