Resplendent Earth
So beautiful, Oh planet earth, resplendent to our eyes
Green of the land, blue of the sea, and white clouds of the skies.
Life’s home in all the galaxies – in air, in sea, on land.
In our love your fragility now lies in our hands.
Conserve your beauty given us, protect your gifts of life,
Equality of people’s rights and liberty from strife
Catch wind and sun for energy, draw heat from underground
Give land and sea fertility; let peace and life abound.
