O God! You stretches your hand
And fills the earth with beauty and bounty
O God! You douses the earth with blows of your living breath
And it is made alive again with birth and breath
O God! You watches over the earth
And it brought forth with growth and breadth
O God! You shapes the earth
According to your might and delight

O God! You withdraws your watch for a second
And the earth is dull with death and dearth
O God! You curses the earth with a single word
And it is a waste land without love or life
O God! A droplet of your angers overflows into the earth
And it is a despairing land-so desolate and desperate
O God! With a single sweep of your toddler finger
You can make the earth no more forevermore

O God! Keep watch the earth
And bring forth its success and surplus
O God! Keep forth the earth
And fill it with prosperity and posterity
O God! Lead right the earth
And it be with its purity and austerity
O God! Keep guard the earth
That it may astonish in its obedience and abundance

O God! The earth is your make and stake
Ignite her with your pity and piety
Let the earth overflow with your pretty and plenty
Let her appropriately flourish and never perish
O God! Stretch your might and wit
And keep the earth always round and bound
With your love and live: sacred and blessed!
Let her be a fruitful fruit of your labour and love
