Psalm 95 from Nan Merrill’s Psalms for Praying

O come, let us sing to the Most High

Creator of the Cosmos;

let us make a joyful song to

the Beloved!

Let us come to the Radiant One with

thanksgiving,

With gratitude let us offer our

psalms of praise!

For the Beloved is Infinite, the

Breathing Life of all.

The depths of the earth belong to Love;

the height of the mountains,

as well.

The sea and all this is in it,

the dry land and air above

were created by Love.

O come, let us bow down and give

thanks,

let us humble before the

Blessed One!

For the Beloved is Supreme, and

we, blessed to be invited to

friendship

as companions along the Way!

O that today we would harken to the

Beloved’s voice!

Harden not your hearts, as in

days of old,

that you be not separated from Love.

Be not like those who hear the Spirit’s Voice

and heed it not,

thinking to be above the Teacher.

For life is but a breath in the

Eternal Dance,

a gift to be reverenced with trust

an opportunity to grow in spirit

and truth,

That in passing into new Life, you enter

into the new Jerusalem.
