INTERFAITH WISDOM

A 2000 year old Jewish mystical hymn.  To God - in thanks for the sun, moon and stars of the sky.  It is related to the Jewish celebration of Shabbat - a weekly observance on the Sabbath in which candles are lit.. 

The earth is full of your goodness,
your greatness and understanding, 
your wisdom and harmony.

How wonderful are the lights that you created.
You formed them with strength and power
and they shine very wonderfully on the world,
magnificent in their splendor.
They arise in radiance and go down in joy.
Reverently they fulfill your divine will.
They are tributes to your name 
as they exalt your sovereign rule in song.
