for the tune to:
1 God in his love for us lent us this planet,
gave it a purpose in time and in space:
small as a spark from the fire of creation,
cradle of life and the home of our race.
2 Thanks be to God for its bounty and beauty,
life that sustains us in body and mind:
plenty for all, if we learn how to share it,
riches undreamed-of to fathom and find.
3 Long have our human wars ruined its harvest;
long has earth bowed to the terror of force;
long have we wasted what others have needed,
poisoned the fountain of life at its source.
4 Earth is the Lord's: it is ours to enjoy it,
ours, as God's stewards, to farm and defend.
From its pollution, misuse, and destruction,
good Lord, deliver us, world without end!

Can you remember this in 1968? I can't. We didn't have a TV until 1970. Dad hired one just for the moon landing. I can recall him standing on a chair trying hard to keep the ariel steady late into the night. Bread delivered. Deposits on Pop bottles. And.... Am I showing my age?
Best wishes, Andrew
