HYMN
Earth is full of wit and wisdom,
sounding God’s delighted laugh.
From the tiny highland midges
to the treetop-tall giraffe.
All creation sings in wonder;
even rocks and trees rejoice
as they join the ringing chorus:
echoes of our Maker’s voice.
Earth is full of wit and wisdom,
woven into harmony.
Every creature has a purpose,
every flower and bumblebee.
Spider, human, redwood, gecko,
monkey, chicken, mouse and snake,
live within a single fabric:
cloth that only God could make.
Earth is full of wit and wisdom:
penguin, platypus and snail,
cactus, sea-slug, oak and algae,
from the microbe to the whale.
In this great and strange creation,
with a breath God gives us birth:
born of soil that holds and feeds us,
called to love and serve the earth.
