We give you thanks, O God, for you are good;
generously, ungrudgingly you give to all.
Lord, we have no need to store up treasures;
teach us to ask, and trust you to supply.
May we learn to cherish the beauty of creation,
protecting integrity of land, waters, and air.
Creator and Sustainer, in you we are rich,
for your steadfast love endures forever.
