The bold designs of farthest space;
Let sun and moon and stars and light
And what lies hidden praise your might.

Earth's myst'ries known or yet untold;
Let water's fragile blend with air,
Enabling life, proclaim your care.

All now despised for creed or race;
Let peace, descending like a dove,
Make known on earth your healing love.

Until we praise you face to face.

Newport, Gwent, Wales, 1934) wrote this text in 1978 while he was Chapel Minister at Yale Divinity School, New Haven, Connecticut.

He was then elected Suffragan Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut. The writer of several hymns, Rowthorn was also coeditor with Russell Schulz-Widmar of A New Hymnal for Colleges and Schools (1991). Rowthorn has since moved to Paris, where he is Bishop in Charge of the American Churches in Europe.
