God of time and God eternal,

God beyond millennia;

God whose fingerprints reveal you

In the atom and the stars:

          Flood our hearts with hope and wonder,

          Fill us with your healing love.

God, in Jesus, you have lived life,

Shared constraints of time and space;

Shared in sorrow, suffered violence,

Full of mercy, peace and grace:

          Flood our hearts with your compassion,

          Fill us with your healing love.

God whose Spirit at creation

Calmed the chaos, formed  the new;

God whose Spirit guided prophets,

Leading all towards the True;

          Flood our hearts with life eternal,

          Fill us with your healing love.
