O Let the Earth
From The Poets and the Poetry of the Century, ed. Alfred H. Miles
O let the Earth bless the Lord; yea, let it praise Him and
magnify Him for ever.
Let the Earth in fair array
Breathe to the Lord a gladsome strain;
Weave round her brow a radiant chain
Of apple-bloom or fragrant may.
And dance along her sunny way
Through waving grass and springing grain:
O let the Earth in fair array
Breathe to the Lord a gladsome strain.
In sylvan aisles her worship pay',
Or praise Him by the azure main:
When morning smiles without a stain,
Or evening dons her mantle grey —
O let the Earth in fair array
Breathe to the Lord a glads.ue strain.
