THOU HAST STRETCHED OUT THE HEAVENS LIKE A CURTAIN
Thou has established the earth upon the waters;
Thou has walled about the sea with sand.
Thou has poured forth the air that living things may breathe.
THE ANGELIC POWERS MINISTER TO THEE
The choir of archangels worship thee; the many-eyed cherubim and the six-winged seraphim, standing around thee and flying about thee, hide their faces in fear of thine unapproachable glory.
By the elements, by the angels and by men, by things visible and invisible, may thy most holy name be glorified, together with the Father and the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.
Prayer at the Great Blessing of the Waters — Holy Theophany
“You are a world within a world: look within yourself, and see there the whole creation.”
Wherever you turn your eyes, there is God’s symbol;
Whatever you read, you will find there his types…
Look and see how Nature and Scripture are linked together…
Praise for the Lord of Nature.
Glory for the Lord of Scripture.
St, Ephrem the Syrian
