Hymn: I vow to you our country
I vow to you our country, all earthly things below
to cleanse what we as humans have done to nature's show.
Our rivers are polluted, and air that creatures breathe.
Discarded waste and effluent now cloak both land and sea.
The climate's been disrupted, affecting food supplies,
and all of God's creation, is raising piteous cries
But there's another country, I've heard of long ago
a garden full of beauty, where nature's free to grow
with seas and skies of freshness, with land that's lush and clean.
We have what God now gives us, to bring back what has been.
So we should be resourceful and with a firm intent
restore our lovely country, to such as we have dreamt.
Tune: Thaxted
