God, Who Touchest Earth with Beauty
Mary S. Edgar
***
God, who touchest earth with beauty,
Make my heart anew;
With thy spirit recreate me,
Pure and strong and true.
Like thy springs and running waters
Make me crystal pure;
Like thy rocks of towering grandeur
Make me strong and sure.
Like thy dancing waves in sunlight
Make me glad and free;
Like the straightness of the pine trees
Let me upright be.
Like the arching of the heavens
Lift my thoughts above;
Turn my dreams to noble action,
Ministries of love.
God, who touchest earth with beauty,
Make my heart anew;
Keep me ever, by thy spirit,
Pure and strong and true. Amen.
