Author: Frederick Pratt Green (1903-2000) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 20 hymnals Topics: Care of Creation Lyrics: 1 God in such love for us lent us this planet, gave it a purpose in time and in space: small as a spark from the fire of creation, cradle of life and the home of our race. 2 Thanks be to God for its bounty and beauty, life that sustains us in body and mind: plenty for all, if we learn how to share it, riches undreamed-of to fathom and find. 3 Long have our human wars ruined its harvest; long has earth bowed to the terror of force; long have we wasted what others have need of, poisoned the fountain of life at its source. 4 Earth is the Lord's: it is ours to enjoy it, Ours, as God's stewards, to farm and defend. From its pollution, misuse, and destruction, good Lord, deliver us, world without end! Scripture: 1 Timothy 6:17 Used With Tune: EPIPHANY
