o god thy world is sweet with prayer

o god, thy world is sweet with prayer;
the breath of christ is in the air;
we rise on thy free spirit’s wings,
and every thought within us sings.

thou art our morning and our sun,
our work is glad, in thee begun;
our foot worn path is fresh with dew,
for thou createst all things new.

o god, within us and above,
close to us in the christ we love,
through him, our only guide and way,
may heavenly life be ours today!
