Creative Caretakers

orchidee



Tune: Dove of Peace

('I come with joy to meet my Lord')

******

O Lord, see here, my thankful heart

But forgive any part

Where I unthankful, selfish be

Thinking only of me

 

Your works shown in your creation

Displayed to each nation

In sky and sea and earth they found

And too be underground

 

Fro there [is] no place you do not see

All open to you be

And we your creatures, care-takers

In this each human shares

 

Grant us grace to serve you truly

Needy in the world see

People and plants and animals

You came to save all souls

 

Forgive where proud or boastful we

Do not your good hand see

But lowly servants, true our state

Serving you the Lord great

 

Yet sinners saved and loved and blessed

May share your holiness

Your sons and daughters you us make

Us for you self you take

 

So not to live in vanity

Or unprofitably

But each word and deed done through you

Has real value anew
