brother sun and sister moon
i seldom see you
seldom hear your tune
preoccupied with selfish misery

brother wind and sister air
open my eyes to visions pure and fair
that i may see
the glory around me

i am God's creature
of Him i am part
i feel His love
awakening my heart

brother sun and sister moon
i now do see you
i can hear your tune
so much in love with all that i survey

birds are singing sweet and low
from the trees that gently grow
soft and soothing, breezes blow
on this lovely day

to the meadows there go i
to wonder as a butterfly
how the flowers please my eyes
on this lovely day

i wish it could be always
life is easy on such a day
i wish this peace on every one
on this lovely day
