20110808 Look at the World…John Rutter

この夏、連れ合いから教えてもらった作曲家John Rutterの曲です。メロディーも素敵ですが、歌詞も素朴で感動します。

Look at the world, everything all around us 
Look at the world and marvel every day. 
Look at the world: so many joys and wonders, 
So many miracles along our way 
Praise to thee, O lord for all creation. 
Give us thankful hearts that we may see 
All the gifts we share, and every blessing, 
All things come of thee.

Look at the earth bringing forth fruit and flower, 
Look at the sky the sunshine and the rain. 
Look at the hills, look at the trees and mountains, 
Valley and flowing river, field and plain. 
Praise to thee, O lord for all creation. 
Give us thankful hearts that we may see 
All the gifts we share, and every blessing, 
All things come of thee.

Think of the spring, think of the warmth of summer 
Bringing the harvest before winter’s cold. 
Everything grows, everything has a season, 
till it is gathered to the Father’s fold: 
Praise to thee, O lord for all creation. 
Give us thankful hearts that we may see 
All the gifts we share, and every blessing, 
All things come of thee.

Every good gift, all that we need and cherish. 
Comes from the Lord in token of his love
We are his hands, stewards of all his bounty
His is the earth and his the heavens above
Praise to thee, O lord for all creation. 
Give us thankful hearts that we may see 
All the gifts we share, and every blessing, 
All things come of thee.
