O Mother Earth (tune of How Great Thou Art)
New lyrics by Kristina Sinks

Verse 1
O Mother Earth! When we, in awesome wonder
Consider all you nurture in your care.
We see the stars, we hear the rolling thunder,
We taste the fruits of sun, and soil, and air

Verse 2
By waters deep, the source of all that’s breathing,
We find your rest, though waves swell o’er the shores
In lake and sea, with mighty creatures teeming,
And babbling brook, and rain that on us pours

Refrain:
Our souls cry out, remembering our home
O Mother Earth, O Mother Earth
She needs us now, she needs all we can give
For all to live, for all to live

Verse 3
In dark of night, the sky abounds with beauty,
With moon and stars, so much beyond our reach
When we look up t’ward all this glimmering grandeur
We find our way; stars point to what we seek

Verse 4
We wander through our watersheds, our homeland,
We learn the names of creatures, plants, and streams.
Our power now, to hurt, to heal, to plant,
Determine if and how our children dream.

Refrain

Verse 5
With calloused hands, these humble servants offer 
All we can give, our energy and time 
Restoring earth to all we still envision 
Abounding life, all healed and intertwined.

Refrain
