From the tangled threads of chaos
By the Pattern, by the Will,
All is braided, woven, structured,
Each its purpose to fulfill.
From Light and Love, emerging, being--
Life takes shape and draws its force
Spreads across the new creation
Sets its goal and steers a course.
Praise the One whose Art makes real
Out of chaos, dream and place
Thanks to all who build and care for
Every particle and place.
From the tangled skeins of chaos
Matter, form and energy—
From the dance of every atom
To vastnesses that we cannot see.
From the vision to the heartbeat,
From the primal stew to this—
All we see and sense and honor
We offer Thanks for All that is.
Praise the One and thank the All;
Thank the One and praise the rest.
Heart felt, soul-known, this our homespace
We give, we get, we meet the test.
