God, Who Touches Earth With Beauty

God who touches earth with beauty,
make my heart anew.
With your Spirit recreate me
pure and strong and true.

Like your springs and running water,
make me crystal pure.
Like your rocks of tow’ring grandeur,
make me strong and sure.

Like your 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 touches earth with beauty,
make my heart anew.
Keep me ever, by your Spirit,
pure and strong and true.
