The Earth Adorned by Waldemar Åhlén (1894-1982)
"The earth adorned in verdant robe sends praises upward surging,
While soft winds breathe on fragrant flowers from winter now emerging.
The sun shines bright, gives warmth and light to budding blossoms tender, proclaiming summer’s splendor.
From out the wood, the birds now sing and each its song now raises,
to join with all the Universe in voicing thankful praises.
With hope and joy their songs employ a rapturous exaltation in praise of God’s creation.
O God, amid these joys of life, creation’s glory beaming,
Grant us the grace to keep your word and live in love redeeming.
All flesh is grass, the flowers fade, and time is fleeting ever, God’s word remains forever."
A New Commandment by William Mundy (1529-1591)
"A new commandment give I unto you, saith the Lord:
that ye love together as I have loved you,
that e’en so ye love one another."
