How wonderful divine Love is—to make the earth so fair
With buds of fragrant foliage on trees that once were bare!
I sit—aware of loveliness, God's presence all around,
The gentle lap of water and the birds the only sound.
And as I journey down the road that leads to all perfection,
I know that I shall always have the peace of God's protection.
Accompanied at every turn with beauty, love of living,
I too reflect in every way God's joyous gift of giving.
