1 Lord, show us how to live set free from waste or greed, content with what you give, concerned for all in need. 2 Our choking seas and soil, our fields diseased and sore what we so quickly spoil you only can restore. 3 But we were brought to birth creation to subdue, to tend your teeming earth, co-workers, Lord, with you. 4 By learning how to share, your faithfulness we prove; by discipline and care our lives reflect your love. 5 O Father, come to heal where your good gifts decay; O Spirit, give us zeal, O Saviour, show the way! 6 Our shame is to destroy or leave your work undone; our duty and our joy to make your goodness known.
