Celtic Prayers - The Weaver's Hand





















The Weaver’s Hand

Where rivers run and pastures grow,
Where Sky meets Earth, with Sea between;
Where sparkling stars dance with the moon,
There will I find the Maker’s Pattern,
There will I see the Weaver’s Hand.

Where mountain rise and valleys yield,
Where trees abound and flowers grow;
Where geese fly high and fish swim deep,
There will I find the Maker’s Pattern,
There will I see the Weaver’s Hand.

Where lightning flashes and thunder roars,
Where silver rain and white snow falls,
Where grey clouds gather and green waves crash,
There will I find the Maker’s Pattern,
There will I see the Weaver’s Hand.

Where galaxies gleam and stars collide,
Where planets whirl and comets rush;
Where gas clouds appear and black holes hide,
There will I find the Maker’s Pattern,
There will I see the Weaver’s Hand.

Where plankton floats and microbes dwell,
Where new cells grow and atoms spin;
Where electrons charge and neutrons emerge,
There will I find the Maker’s Pattern,
There will I see the Weaver’s Hand.

Wherever I go and whatever I do,
However I live and whenever I die;
What lies in the past and what lies ahead,
There will I find the Maker’s Pattern,
There will I clasp the Weaver’s Hand.

Celtic Prayers: Celtic Confession





















Celtic Confession

O Loving Heart of Heaven,
To Whom all Nature sings,
Hear this heartfelt prayer
From a simple servant,
Who longs to please You
With devoted words,
And delight You
With dedicated deeds.

As the geese fly high
Above the grey clouds,
So may the prayers
Of this Celtic Child
Go beyond this earthly sphere,
Into the eternal realms
Of Your Glorious Kingdom.

May the Son of God,
Who is the Sovereign
Of my human heart,
And Sacred Savior
Of my wayward soul,
Intercede on my behalf.

May His gracious words
Speak of His ownership
Of me, a humble servant.
May His majestic mercy
Restore my spirit
To Your divine favor
And everlasting love.

In Christ’s Holy
And most Sacred Name,
I humbly pray.

Amen.
