Window of mystery, open to me:
Freshen the breath of my being.
Witness of spirit and wonder to be:
Alleluia, alleluia.
Venturesome faith: Now encourage my soul,
Arc of the universe freeing;
Lifting and loving, courageous and whole,
Alleluia, alleluia.
Gather in covenant, broaden our reach.
Nurture the ties of our being.
Binding in wholeness, a blessing to each.
Alleluia, alleluia.
