11. Earth with her ten thousand flowers

1 Earth with her ten thousand flowers,
Air, with all its beams and showers,
Heaven’s infinite expanse;
Ocean’s resplendant countenance—
All around, and all above,
Hath this record — God is love.

2 Sounds among the vales and hills,
In the woods and by the rills,
Of the breeze and of the bird,
By the gentle murmur stir’d;—
Sacred songs, beneath, above,
Have one Chorus — God is love.

3 All the hopes that sweetly start,
From the fountain of the heart;
All the bliss that ever comes,
To our earthly — human homes —
All the voices from above,
Sweetly whisper — God is love.
