God in His Love
Author: F. Pratt Green Hymnal: Ecumenical Praise #75 (1977) First Line: God in his love for us lent us this planet Lyrics: 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 the wars of man ruined his harvest;
Long has Earth bowed to the terror of force.
Now we pollute it, in cynical silence:
Poison the fountain of life at its source.
4 Casual de spoilers, or high-priests of Mammon
Selling the future for present rewards,
Careless of life and contemptuous of beauty:
Bid us remember: the Earth is the Lord's!
5 Earth is the Lord's: it is ours to enjoy it,
Ours, as His stewards, to farm and defend.
Now from pollution, disease, and damnation,
Good Lord, deliver us, world without end! Topics: Christian Concern Society and City Languages: English Tune Title: ECOLOGY

Fred Pratt Green
1903 - 2000 Author of "God in His Love for Us Lent Us This Planet" in Rejoice in the Lord The name of the Rev. F. Pratt Green is one of the best-known of the contemporary school of hymnwriters in the British Isles. His name and writings appear in practically every new hymnal and "hymn supplement" wherever English is spoken and sung. And now they are appearing in American hymnals, poetry magazines, and anthologies.
Mr. Green was born in Liverpool, England, in 1903. Ordained in the British Methodist ministry, he has been pastor and district superintendent in Brighton and York, and now served in Norwich. There he continued to write new hymns "that fill the gap between the hymns of the first part of this century and the 'far-out' compositions that have crowded into some churches in the last decade or more."
