Hymn Display
1
For beauty of meadows, for grandeur of trees,
For flowers of woodlands, for creatures of seas,
For all You created and gave us to share,
We praise You, Creator, extolling Your care.
2
As stewards of beauty received at Your hand,
As creatures who hear Your most urgent command
We turn from our wasteful and destructive ways
We confess our failure, our call to fill all that we do.
3
Teach us once again to delight in Your grace;
Your name we would hallow in all we create,
Fulfilling our call to be co-creators with You.
