On This Good Earth

Author: Shirley Erena Murray Hymnal: New Hymns of Hope #177 Meter: Irregular Topics: Earth Day First Line: On this good earth, God's generous creation Lyrics: On this good earth, God's generous creation, all people have the right to live and share, and when our footprint marks a mindful measure, one step is taken for the world's repair. In this good earth that crumbles in our fingers we plant the food for more than present need: the health and hope of future generations lies in our care of water, air and seed. On this good earth where famine stalks the hungry, where drought is death and starving creatures cry, we pray to God for will to use more wisely the power we wield, when all of life might die. On this good earth that pulses with life's rhythm, we pray for greening of another spring, and learn the cost of wasting God's abundance when we are careless of its nourishing. From every land, let voices rise in worship to thank our God for marvels given birth, the gifts of life in bounty and in beauty, our privilege to care for this good earth.

Our Common Home, This Planet Earth

Author: Barbara Hamm Hymnal: New Hymns of Hope #180 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Earth Day Lyrics: 1 Our common home, this planet earth, requires our common care. This gift of God is meant for all to use, protect and share. The earth supports a web of life in which we take our place; its food and water, air and light sustain the human race. 2 But now the earth is in distress from our pursuit of gain. If we consume our planet home, what profit will remain? If we ask more than earth can give and use more than we need, our common future is at risk, endangered by our greed. 3 What we do now affects the earth beyond the present day. Concern for those who follow us can help us find our way. God, help us bend our common will to right our common wrong that ages hence may sing your praise for earth, restored and strong.
