The Earth’s Prayer

This recording of The Earth’s Prayer is sung by Lumens and directed by Kathryn Morton. Despite beautiful, moving harmonies throughout, it is the text that shines through in this piece.

Text by Sally Clarke:

Our Mother, whose Paradise is our Haven, 

Hallowed be thy top soil. 

Thy splendour, thy splendour, thy splendour be replenished, 

thy nurture be reciprocated on Land as it is in Sea/Sky/Mountain Range. 

Give us this day our daily mindfulness, 

forgive us our fossil fuel obsession as we forgive those who manipulate against us. 

Lead us back into balance and deliver us from separation, 

for thine is the Wonder of Biodiversity, the renewable power and the shared, sustainable glory. 

Now and forever. Amen!
