Look at the World

Look at the world,
everything all around us
Look at the world
And marvel every day.
Look at the world:
so many joys and wonders,
So many miracles along our way

Praise to thee,
O lord for all creation.
Give us thankful hearts
that we may see
All the gifts we share,
and every blessing,
All things come of thee.

Look at the earth
bringing forth fruit and flower,
Look at the sky
the sunshine and the rain.
Look at the hills,
look at the trees and mountains
Valley and flowing river,
field and plain.

Think of the spring,
think of the warmth of summer
Bringing the harvest
before winter’s cold.
Everything grows,
everything has a season,
till it is gathered
to the Father's fold.

Every good gift,
all that we need and cherish.
Comes from the Lord
in token of his love
We are his hands,
stewards of all his bounty
His is the earth
and his the heavens above

Praise to thee,
O lord for all creation.
Give us thankful hearts
that we may see
All the gifts we share,
and every blessing,
All things come of thee.
