here there but mostly everywhere

The Lightning Fields_07 2015

I launch my bark on the unknown waters of this year, 

with Thee, O Father as my harbour, 

Thee, O Son, at my helm, 

Thee O Holy Spirit, filling my sails. 

Guide me to heaven with my loins girt, 

my lamp burning, 

my ear open to Thy calls, 

my heart full of love, 

my soul free.

Give me They grace to sanctify me, 

Thy comforts to cheer, 

Thy wisdom to teach, 

Thy right hand to guide, 

Thy counsel to instruct, 

Thy law to judge, 

Thy presence to stabilize. 

May Thy fear by my awe, 

Thy triumphs my joy.
