For the Beauty of the Earth

Bright South County Pastoral

Bright South County PastoralSouth County pastoral scene under bright late afternoon sun and clouds moving in. About a quarter of a mile down the street is the shore.

For the beauty of the earth, 
for the glory of the skies, 
for the love which from our birth
over and around us lies. 

Green River Clouds 

Green River Clouds The clouds drift and the sun shines on the Green River as observed from the overlook of Mammoth Cave National Park

For the wonder of each hour 
of the day and of the night, 
hill and vale and tree and flower, 
sun and moon and stars of light

Beneath the Canopy

Beneath the CanopySun flare through the trees at Burlingame State Park in Charlestown, Rhode Island

For the joy of human love, 
brother, sister, parent, child, 
friends on earth, and friends above, 
for all gentle thoughts and mild,

Bright and Cheerful Rose

For yourself, best gift divine, 
to the world so freely given, 
agent of God's grand design: 
peace on earth and joy in heaven.
