Leaf from leaf
Judith Weir
"Leaf from leaf Christ knows
Himself the Lily and the Rose
Sheep from sheep Christ tells
Himself the Shepherd, no one else
Star and star He names
Himself outblazing all their flames
Dove by dove, He calls
To set each on the golden walls
Drop by drop, He counts
The flood of ocean as it mounts
Grain by grain, His hand
Numbers the innumerable sand
Lord, I lift to Thee
In peace what is and what shall be
Lord, in peace I trust
To Thee all spirits and all dust"
