Caring for the Earth
Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #694 (1995) First Line: We have faith Lyrics: We have faith
in one God, one Source of all life,
One Ground of the whole earth, with all its creatures.
And thus we believe
in the goodness of earth's life,
in the innate worth of all its dependents,
in human partnership, in the life of nature.
And thus we believe
that in Christ we have been shown
the special role of the human race
to bear God's likeness
in working and caring for the earth,
in seeking to understand its mysteries and powers,
in gently working with these powers
for the well-being of all children of the earth.
And thus we believe
that God's Spirit will lead us
to sensitive closeness with earth's life,
to that meek, unselfish and compassionate life-style
by which the earth is inherited in peace,
by which its life is transformed
for all creatures to share justly in its bounty.
So be it. Amen. Topics: God's World Care of the Earth; Care of the Earth Languages: English
