Let us pray.For all that is beautiful and good and true, we offer thanks and praise.For this land of Scotland –Its fertile fields and running riversMajestic hills and windy islandsTowns and cities, villages and clachansWe bring devoted thanks;Most of all for Scotland's people –Their character, their styleThe young and old, the in-betweenTraditions, skills, the language and the musicWe celebrate with pride;For Scots abroad we pray, as also we rememberThe influence of our people in the wider worldThe new Scots who have come from there to hereThe happy mix of races, creeds and customs;For ten years of this Scottish Parliament –For dreams, vision, dedicationHonourable efforts, dutiful administration,Honest debate, testing of deep principle,Readiness to serve the people's common good,We make our thankful tribute.When things go badly wrong in our communitiesAnd pain and hurt demolish peaceful life,Help us and all our people in our landTo put new effort into the making of good neighbourhoodAnd let so much that's good bring help to heal and build,Harnessing all our strengths for wise humanity.Not for this land alone we pray,But for the whole wide earth;For children born and growing up in places near and far,That all may have the chance of nurture, freedom, peace,And all may learn to use their skills for good;And the whole earth learn peace;Through Jesus Christ our Lord.
