"We see the light, but not whence it comes.
O Light Invisible, we glorify Thee!"

O Light Invisible, we praise Thee!
Too bright for mortal vision,
O Greater Light, we praise Thee for the less;
The eastern light our spires touch at morning,
The light that slants upon our western doors at evening,
The twilight over stagnant pools atr batflight,
Moon light and star light, owl and moth light,
Glow-worm glowlight on a grassblade.
O Light Invisible, we worship Thee!

We thank Thee for the lights we have kindled,
The light of altar and of sanctuary;
Small lights of those who meditate at midnight
And lights directed through the panes of windows
And light reflected from the polished stone,
The gilded carven wood, the coloured fresco,
Our gaze is submarine, our eyes look uopward
And see the light that fractures through unquiet water.
We see the light, but not whence it comes.
O Light Invisible, we glorify Thee!
T.S. Eliot from Choruses from the The Rock, X

The Parish Prayer
​Father,
Pour out your Spirit
​upon the people of this parish, 
and grant us
a new vision of your glory,
a new experience of your power,
a new faithfulness to your word
and a new consecration to your service,
that your love may grow among us
and your kingdom come.
Through Christ our Lord Amen.
