We celebrate the world
which God has given us
to tend, protect, and keep it yet
a treasure, and a trust.
Still all creation cries
for us to show we care
that oceans wane, few birds remain,
felled forests leave land bare.
Embolden us, O God,
to work that war may cease,
to live with less, that we can bless
our world which longs for peace.
Remembering your son,
who would not bow to wealth,
when we right wrong, by faith made strong,
we help our planet’s health.
We own we have a part
in healing our torn earth.
All humankind awaits a sign
that justice have rebirth.
Let us, God’s agents now,
commit ourselves this hour
to heed God’s word, and be assured
we can bring hope to flower!
