Thou the Beauty of the Earth
adapted for Reclaiming by steward, SpiralHeart community
Thou the Beauty of the Earth,
Thou the glory of the skies,
Thou the love which from our birth,
Over and around us lies,
Lord and Lady, hear our cry:
To our circle now come nigh.
Thou the beauty of each hour,
Of the day and of the night,
Hill and vale, and tree and flow'r,
Sun and moon and stars of light,
Lord and Lady, hear our cry:
To our circle now come nigh.
In the joy of ear and eye,
In the heart and mind's delight,
Thou the mystic harmony,
Linking sense to sound and sight,
Lord and Lady, hear our cry:
To our circle now come nigh.
In the joy of love o'er all,
Calling forth our inner child,
Friends on earth and friends above,
In all gentle thoughts and mild,
Lord and Lady, hear our cry:
To our circle now come nigh.
