Today's reflection has been chosen by Honorary Church of Scotland Chaplain Richard Frazer.
Give us faces of stone
To set against the drift,
To set against the swift, strong headlong
Current swollen to a torrent
That is sweeping our world away….
Give us hearts of flame
To burn against the cold,
To burn against the old, the mortal chill,
The quenching thrill
Of the fast-flooding tide.
Thou art Fire and Light
(Give us hearts of flame!)
Make us to burn like beacons
In defiance of ancient Night.
Make us braziers in the cold streets of the cities
Make us lamps in Thy sanctuaries,
Make us candles to the Sacred Heart.
The world is lost and looking for the way.
