Isaiah 40: 8

8 The grass withers, the flower fades;
    but the word of our God will stand for ever.

Your forewird stauns for aye,

the machair that blaws will dwyne

an the flouers an a,

but your luve will ner awa.

Thon braes micht faw tae bits 

an hirple intae the sea -

I wulnnae be afeart.

I’ll be blythe, ready to flit wi you,

Lin ahin a thon hurts,

oxterin ony the luve I’ve kent.

Sae be it.

Amen.
