God, who touches earth with beauty,
make my heart anew;
with your Spirit recreate me,
pure and strong and true,
pure and strong and true.
Like the springs and running waters,
make me crystal pure;
like thy rocks of towering grandeur,
make me strong and sure,
make me strong and sure.
Like the dancing waves in sunlight,
make me glad and free;
like the straightness of the pine trees
let me upright be,
let me upright be.
Like the arching of the heavens
lift my thoughts above,
turn my dreams to noble action:
ministries of love,
ministries of love.
God, who touches earth with beauty,
make my heart anew;
keep me ever by the Spirit,
pure and strong and true,
pure and strong and true.
