Let Us Bless the Earth
Let us bless the earth
the way it has sustained us
since the beginning of time
Let us bless the earth
its patience despite the
folly of humankind
Let us bless the earth
each season's beauty
remarkably sublime
Let us bless the earth
innumerable peaceful places
where beauty does shine
Let us bless the earth
its kindness to all beings
with wisdom crystalline
Let us bless the earth
let us bless the earth
yes it is now time.
