Source and Fount of All Creation

Source and fount of all creation, pour

your Spirit from above

On the bearers of your image, offspring

of a human love.

Human hopes and human graces break

beneath the weight of sin;

Fear and envy wrench asunder world

without and self within.

Christ our universal Saviour, nature's

poet, nature's priest,

Through life's troubled waters bring us to

the Eucharistic feast,

Where rejoicing saint and sinner praise

the Lord of time and space,

Father, Son and Holy Spirit, fount of

being, source of grace.
