How Have We Lost Our Wonder

Who taught the falcon how to dive

Who taught the eagle how to fly

Who gave the geese their formation

Who taught the loon how to cry

Who from deep within the earth

Raised the mountains high

Who made the water fall

From warheads raging in the sky

Who placed the stars in the heavens

Who made the oceans roar

Who set the moon in rotation

And made it call the waves to shore

Who gives power to the lightning

As it electrifies the night sky

Who gave sound to thunder

As it shakes the mountains high

Who gave streams their laughter

Bouncing lightly through the wood

Who to rainfall gave music

Replenishing earth to bring forth food

How have we come to lose our wonder

At the Artist behind all we see

Who to life gave endless beauty

God our father, it is He.

For the beauty of the earth,
For the beauty of the skies,
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies,
Lord of all, to thee we raise
This our grateful hymn of praise.

For the beauty of each hour
Of the day and of the night,
Hill and vale, and tree and flower,
Sun and moon and stars of light,
Lord of all, to thee we raise
This our grateful hymn of praise.

For the joy of human love,
Brother, sister, parent, child,
Friends on earth, and friends above,
Pleasures pure and undefiled,
Lord of all, to thee we raise
This our grateful hymn of praise.

For each perfect gift of thine,
To our race so freely given,
Graces human and divine,
Flowers of earth and buds of heaven,
Lord of all, to thee we raise
This our grateful hymn of praise.

For thy Church which evermore
Lifteth holy hands above,
Offering up on every shore
Her pure sacrifice of love,
Lord of all, to thee we raise
This our grateful hymn of praise.

Psalm 19:1
The heavens declare the glory of God;
And the firmament shows His handiwork.
