GRH 057 God, Who Touchest Earth with Beauty

(1)
God, who touchest earth with beauty,
Make me lovely too;
With Thy Spirit recreate me,
Make my heart a new.

(2)
Like Thy springs and running waters,
Make me crystal pure;
Like Thy rocks of towering grandeur,
Make me strong and sure.

(3)
Like Thy shining waves in sunlight,
Make me glad and free;
Like the straightness of the pine trees,
Let me upright be.

(4)
Like the arching of the heavens,
Lift my thoughts above;
Turn my dreams to noble action,
Ministries of love.

(5)
God, who touchest earth with beauty,
Make me lovely too;
Keep me ever, by Thy Spirit,
Pure and strong and true.
