Glory to thee, thou sun

The eye of the great God,
The eye of the God of glory,
The eye of the King of hosts,
The eye of the King of the living,
Pouring upon us
At each time and season,
Pouring upon us
Gently and generously.

Glory to thee, thou sun,
Thou glorious sun.

Glory to thee, thou sun, Face of the God of life.

From the Carmina Gadelica

 

The Astonishing Light

One day the sun admitted

I am just a shadow.

I wish I could show you

The Infinite Incandescence

That has cast my brilliant image!

I wish I could show you

When you are lonely or in darkness

The Astonishing Light

Of your own Being!

Hafiz

A love like that

Even after all this time the sun never says to the earth 
"You owe me".

Look what happens with a love like that,

It lights the whole sky.
