Baruck 3:34

  the stars shone on their watches,

                                     & were glad; 

            God called them, & they said, "

      Here we are!. They shone with 

gladness for him who made them.

           

            may 

            we 

            be 

            faithful

           stewards 

          of your good gifts  - Rogation Collect
