Full Lyrics
1 God save you, merry Gentlefolk
from worry and dismay,
for God our good Creator
has made you for this day,
to stand up for all life on Earth
though we had gone astray!
Chorus:
O tidings of comfort and hope,
comfort and hope,
o tidings of comfort and hope!
2 As sure as we are living
we're meant to do our part,
as stewards of all Creation
with mind and hand and heart;
for God gave us such mighty pow'r
that Earth's course we do chart!
Chorus
3 The creatures of our forests green,
of fields and mountains tall,
and creatures of the deepest sea,
of lakes and rivers call
upon our courage righteous set
for to redeem us all!
Chorus
4 Give not an ear to wicked word
from those in Evil's sway,
who take your faith in God's own Good
and say you've lost your way,
that they may speed the end of days
for falsely God they play!
Chorus
5 Let's stand together tall and strong
and make our voices heard!
Now confident of right and wrong
we pledge to keep our word;
our stewardship of God's precious Earth
to honor and to serve!
Chorus
