Leader:         To worship is to stand in awe under a heaven of stars,

                        before a flower, a leaf in sunlight, or a grain of sand.

People:        To worship is to be silent, receptive,

                        before a tree astir with the wind, or the passing shadow of a cloud.

LEFT:              To worship is to work with dedication and with skill;

RIGHT:          it is to pause from work and listen to a strain of music.

LEFT:              To worship is to sing with the singing beauty of the earth;
