Author: Daniel Charles Damon Hymnal: New Hymns of Hope #108 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Scripture: Luke 1:46-55 First Line: Hope of the Earth: your blessings are abused Lyrics: 1 Hope of the Earth: your blessings are abused;
bread turns to stone as gospel is confused.
Word of our Lives: when wisdom is ignored,
heal and forgive, work with us to restore.
2 Breath of the Earth: our trees are sacrificed;
greed leads the way to profit at what price?
False gods consume, addictions beg for more.
God of the Earth: we would redeem, restore.
3 Hope of the Earth: we harvest what we sow;
all life is joined, the proud will be made low.
God's realm receives the children of the poor.
Jesus, forgive; work with us to restore. Topics: Earth Day; Justice and Peace Languages: English Tune Title: BLACK HILLS
