As the morning mist shrouds the river
and then is lifted by the gentle rays of the rising son,
so may our clouded spirits be raised by the warmth of your love.
Make us always mindful of your creation its fragility and its beauty.
Teach us to cherish it for those who come after
Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Most Rev’d David Chillingwoth,
Primus of the Scottish Episcopal Church
