EARTHKEEPING NEWS A NEWSLETTER OF THE NORTH AMERICAN COALITION FOR CHRISTIANITY AND ECOLOGY Volume Thirteen, Number One Winter 2004 CELTIC INVOCATION It were easy for Jesus To renew the withered tree As to wither the new Were it his will so to do. Jesu! Jesu! Meet it were to praise Him! There is no plant in the ground But is full of his virtue, There is no form in the strand But is full of his blessing. There is no life in the sea, There is no creature in the river, There is naught in the firmament But proclaims his goodness. There is no bird on the wing, There is no star in the sky, There is nothing beneath the sun, But proclaims His goodness. Jesu! Jesu! Jesu! Meet it were to praise Him!
