Lyrics:

EARTH WAS GIVEN AS A GARDEN

1
Earth was given as a garden,
Cradle for humanity;
Tree of life and tree of knowledge
Placed for our discovery.
*Here was home for all your creatures
Born of land and sky and sea;
All created in your image,
All to live in harmony.

2
“Show to us again the garden
Where all life flows fresh and free.
Gently guide your sons and daughters
Into full maturity.
*Teach us how to trust each other,
How to use for good our pow’r,
How to touch the earth with rev’rence.
Then once more will Eden flow’r.

3
“Bless the earth and all your children,
One creation: make us whole,
Interwoven, all connected,
Planet wide and inmost soul.
*Holy mother, life bestowing,
Bid our waste and warfare cease.
Fill us all with grace o’erflowing.
Teach us how to live in peace.”

Coda:
Fill us all with grace o’erflowing.
Teach us how to live in peace.”
