Mountain Brook with Rushing Waters

Author: William W. Reid, Jr. Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #690 (1995) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Mountain brook with rushing waters, eagle perched in lofty tree, flowering hillside in the springtime, white-tailed deer alert and free! Beauty, beauty all around us! Jubilate! Sing for joy! Help us, God, preserve earth’s splendor for tomorrow’s world to see. 2 Pure the water freshly flowing toward its ocean destiny, clean the air of God’s creation, rich the soil, the mine, the sea. "Earth is good!" God’s word proclaimed it. Jubilate! Sing for joy! Save us, God, from wasteful living, from pollution’s tragedy. 3 Waving fields of wheat and barley, giant apples juicy red, cattle grazing in the pasture; by God’s bounty we are fed! Well supplied the world around us! Jubilate! Sing for joy! May no greed or warring madness scorch the earth or rob our bread. 4 Keep us faithful in the struggle to conserve earth’s threatened store as we fight to save the forest, clean the stream, protect the shore. God and humans work together, Jubilate! Sing for joy! Partners working till as stewards we can say, "Earth’s good!" once more.
