640- For Beauty of Meadows
Christian Life: Stewardship
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 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 hallow in all that we do,
- Fulfilling our calling, creating with You.
