The earth is round and full of strife
From sea to sea it teems with life
It’s full of valleys, mountains high
Where giant peaks reach for the sky.
Trillions of acres garbed in green
Four hundred billion birds are seen
Where eighty billion souls may be
Before this life will set us free
A world of sound, eclectic light
An image of God’s Own insight !
