Lyrics
Mother of all, in every age,
in every clime adored,
by saint, by poet, and by sage,
your praises high have soared.
Goddess of nurture and of love,
all nature sings your care.
In life’s extravagance you prove
the gift of giving fair.
O spirit of unfolding grace
and deepest mystery,
teach us compassion’s gentle face
and wisdom’s mastery.
Teach us to cherish this proud earth,
its fragile beauty praise,
and for the dreams your joy gives birth,
a hopeful future raise.
