Earth| is our |Planet
by Dr John Hobbs (Tune: Morning has broken)
Earth is our planet,
Beauty God-given,
Great plains and forests
Where the beasts roam:
Blue are the oceans,
Mighty the mountains,
This is our Eden,
This is our home.
Vanishing forests,
Oceans of plastic,
Mountains of garbage,
Smoke over all,
Dwindling glaciers:
We are the stewards,
This is our failure,
This is our Fall.
Lessen pollution,
Clean up the waste now,
Power from wind, sun:
No acid rain.
Nurture green spaces,
Cherish the ocean,
Let future's children
Sing the refrain:
Repeat first verse!
Another and seasonal offering, Star of High Heaven by John can be found at HERE
