I will bless you God! You fill the world with awe!
You dress yourself in light, rich, majestic light.
People:
Light of light eternal,
all things penetrating.
For your rays our souls are waiting.
Leader:
To you, O God, we lift up our souls.
People:
As the tender flowers,
willingly unfolding
to the sun their faces holding.
Leader:
My soul, bless God!
All my being, bless God's holy name!

Ever so would we do,
light from you obtaining,
strength to serve you gaining. Scripture: Psalm 104:1-2 Used With Tune: ARNSBERG Text Sources: Tr. composite
