6. O God, Thy World Is Sweet with Prayer

1 O God, thy world is sweet with prayer;
The breath of Christ is in the air;
We rise on thy free Spirit’s wings,
And every thought within us sings.

2 Thou art our Morning and our Sun,
Our work is glad, in thee begun;
Our foot-worn path is fresh with dew,
For thou createst all things new.

3 O God, within us and above,
Close to us in the Christ we love,
Through him, our only guide and way,
May heavenly life be ours today!
