640 - For Beauty of Meadows
For beauty of meadows, for grandeur
of
tress
For
flowers of woods, 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 destruction of life,
Confessing
our failures, confessing our strife.
3
Teach
us once again to be gardeners
in
peace;
All
nature around us is ours but on lease;
Your
name we would hallows in all that we do,
Fulfilling
our calling, creating with You.
