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.

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.

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.
