Nature Nurture

Tune: St Hugh

('Lord, teach us how to pray aright')

Psalm 36 v.7-9

*******

How excellent and how precious

Your bearing unto us

Your loving-kindness, O God! You

Bestow here graces true

 

Therefore we people put our trust

In you, though we are dust

Put our trust under the shadow

Of your wings, comfort so

 

We shall be thus abundantly

Satisfied, whole, and free

With the fulness of your house for

Enough for all, 'tis sure

 

You shall make us there that we drink

Of your river, we think

On you, river of your pleasures

With us you share treasures

 

For with you is of life the fount

Blessings we cannot count

In your light shall we see light true

Clearly revealed by you

          A very utopian stirring and all the possibilities of nurture.

            Thanks CB. I'm soon to read about 'Eutopians' - what are they?! So I should say 'Thank Eu'!

                    Thanks T. lol. It's meant more as 'nurturing of our human nature', though we can nurture the natural world of Nature too!
