God who touches the world with beauty,
Make me lovely too;
With thy spirit re create me,
Make my heart anew.
Like Thy springs and running waters,
Make me crystal pure;
Like thy rocks of towering grandeur,
Make me strong and sure.
Like Thy dancing waves of sunlight,
Make me glad and free;
Like the straightness of the pine trees,
Let me upright be.
Like the arching of the heavens,
Lift my thoughts above;
Turn my dreams to noble actions,
Ministries of love.
God, who touches the earth with beauty,
Make me lovely too;
Keep me ever by Thy spirit.
Pure and strong and true.
Make me lovely too;
With thy spirit re create me,
Make my heart anew.
Like Thy springs and running waters,
Make me crystal pure;
Like thy rocks of towering grandeur,
Make me strong and sure.
Like Thy dancing waves of sunlight,
Make me glad and free;
Like the straightness of the pine trees,
Let me upright be.
Like the arching of the heavens,
Lift my thoughts above;
Turn my dreams to noble actions,
Ministries of love.
God, who touches the earth with beauty,
Make me lovely too;
Keep me ever by Thy spirit.
Pure and strong and true.
