Each day, O God, give gladness with thy dawn, Each day, O God, to wonted tasks we rise, Each day, O God, we kneel to thee, new-born, The little lovely Christ who grace supplies.The poetry of the Western Highlands of Scotland has its origins in the very earliest days of Celtic Christianity, and is imbued with profound religious experience and feeling.The prayers in this volume, many of which will resonate strongly with contemporary Christians, are translations of traditional Gaelic poems, and have never before appeared in print. They form a fine addition to G. R. D. McLean's authoritative work, "Poems of the Western Highlanders", which was first published in 1961, and subsequently reissued (in whole or part) as "Praying with Highland Christians" (1988), "Praying with Celtic Christians" (1988, 1996) and "Celtic Spiritual Verse" (2002), all Triangle/SPCK.

    The Good Book Stall

    Average rating of0.0

    This is a second collection of the late author's translations of prayers from the Carmina Gadelica - a compendium of hymns and prayers from the Western Highlands put together by Alexander Carmichael in the nineteenth century. Few of the prayers are long, many are poetic. They are marked by a rhythm and a rootedness, and often have a strong Trinitarian underpinning - but they are prayers to be used not doctrinal statements to be hoarded. A book like this could be very useful in refreshing a reader's prayer life - and perhaps best used not just to read but to set the reader's own conversation with God alight.
