Emerald Stream

Come now and gather in the glade Where the emerald stream and the evening shade And meditate in the works he's made Great god our sovereign lord Join us now, the meadow is green And the waters pure and the woods serene And the flowing air is fresh and clean Where god his blessings poured See the wind come down Hear it whistle as it blows It brings us sun and it brings us snow A blessing from above And the sun comes up And the sun goes down And the stars and moon go round and round In witness to his love Hear now ye sons of men For danger lurks in this great garden The lord will visit once again To see what we have done As god is the shepherd and we are the sheep We our mother earth must lee Maintain the air protect the deep At judgement day he'll come See the lord come down Hear him whistle as he goes He bears a thunderbolt and a rose Remember all his power See the lord come down Face shining bright His holy feet are soiled, but his robe is white You will regret this hour So now my people beware You're in charge of the seas and the earth and the air You'd better take extraordinary care Of the earth our only home All glory be to god on high Shout praises loudly to the sky Listen to the earth and hear her cry And in heaven forever roam
