Ocean, of many rivers, O’ how you maintain.
Your surface, when shone upon, peels away.
You say to cloud, borrow and accumulate.
Once a wave, your face now moves and pours out like rain.

Upon the mountaintop, of the filled and the rejoicing,
Your pouring out reigns in abundance.
The gravity of the incidence, compelled by its very nature,
Draws out to flow below.

Call out to the valley, to the contrite heart and lowly spirit,
Lift your eyes to the mountaintop; be filled by an overflowing.
Flood your fields; give life and growth, refreshment and renewal.
Flow once again, into me – Ocean.
