A Winter Day

"Thou sendest snow like wool."

God of Beauty, we praise Thee for the sparkling wonder of a winter day, glorified by the white purity and gentle charity of the snow, all a-glitter in the sunlight. Little gray clouds, flame embroidered, driven by the wind, dapple the day with sudden brightenings and sudden darkenings, like the flitting lights and shadows of mortal life. Yet, O God Eternal, as no winds make the sun to falter, even so steadfast is Thy truth, so constant is Thy love. Thy ineffable enchantment, O God, is upon us, filling our hearts with joy unutterable. In the bright unveiling of Thy glory, we worship Thy holy name in adoration.

Amen
