Caring for the Earth
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
God visits the earth and waters,
Providing you with needed rain;
Blesses you with sons and daughters,
Enriches the field harvest grain.
He waters rows abundantly,
Softening with showers for growth;
You till the ground diligently,
No time to slumber or to loath.
God crowns the year with a bounty,
Paths drop fatness and overflow;
Barns and silos storing plenty,
Filling contents before the snow.
The pastures of the wilderness,
The hills themselves girding with joy;
Feel happy for the Lord does bless,
That He has supplied to deploy.
The meadows clothe themselves with flocks,
The valleys deck themselves with grain;
A place where the eagles and hawks,
A rest area to attain.
Sing together joy as you shout,
How much God does care for the earth;
Stop any form in having doubt,
Of His value for its true worth.
