Verse 1
Touch the earth lightly
Use the earth gently
Nourish the life of the world in our care
Gift of great wonder
Ours to surrender
Trust for the children tomorrow will bear
Verse 2
We who endanger
Who create hunger
Agents of death for all creatures that live
We who would foster
Clouds of disaster
God of our planet forestall and forgive
Verse 3
Let there be greening
Birth from the burning
Water that blesses and air that is sweet
Health in God's garden
Hope in God's children
Regeneration that peace will complete
Verse 4
God of all living
God of all loving
God of the seedling the snow and the sun
Teach us deflect us
Christ reconnect us
Using us gently and making us one
