Pink and blue and maize and white
Shades of green from dark to light
Colors bathed with sunshine bright
Cheerful rainbow of delight,
Their bold brilliance blinding me
For it’s all the eye can see
Beauty fair reminding me
Of God’s massive pageantry.
See love and care, row on row
Flowers in a garden grow
Showing us the scant we know
Of things above, things below.
For this earth’s been gayly crowned
Blessings flow and wealth abound,
Flourish both with sight and sound
In display born of the ground.
When you look upon the hill
Laugh with each glad daffodil
Absorb the joyous sight until
Both heart and mind wax ever still.
