Stars seen in Neier's skies at night,
Are an awesome, marvelous sight:
Fireflies acrobat in the air,
No ropes can be seen anywhere.

Their flying is a real artwork,
Arrows and hearts light up the air:
This is an awesome sight to see,
A sight that makes us want to stare.

Beautiful songs that crickets play,
Add beauty to help end the day:
As nighttime flowers. open wide
Moonflowers' sweetness makes its way.

Neier's summer nights are grand to see,
It is there that we want to be.

Lord, help us be courageous,
And innocent life protect:            
Help us protect the voiceless
Who are worthy of our respect.      

You made us in your image,
Of respect we're in need of:
If others will not love us,
Then give to us, Lord your love.                    

All human life has great worth,
On a cross for us you died:
Show us how we are to live,
Dear Lord, over us preside.

Lord, help us to respect life,
Times when we encounter strife.

Though flowers don't have blood cells,
Some have intrinsic beauty:
Some when they are in full bloom
Are real delightful to see.      

Some birds pollinate flowers.
In the nectar some delight:              
I delight in the flowers,    
That release sweetness at night.

At times when life is hectic,
And we find life hard to live:
What we're most in need of,
Is your love, Lord, to us give.        

Help us grow in holiness:              
Humble, show us how to be,        
To you Lord, help us be true,              
Show us how we're to love Thee.          

Wisdom, Lord, drill in us,
Help us so we'll become wise:
Help us, Lord, so we'll please you,
And lead us to paradise.

Help us forgive others, Lord,
You're our God to be adored.
