Emerald Stream 56
Lyrics: Seth Houston, 1991
Tune: Seth Houston, 1991
Meter: P.M.
Come now and gather in the glade,
Where the emerald stream and the evening shade,
And meditate on the works he's made,
Great God our sov'reign Lord.
Join us now, the meadow is green,
And the water pure and the woods serene,
And the flowing air is fresh and clean
Where God his blessing pours.
Feel the wind come down, hear it whistle as it goes
It brings us sun and it brings us snows
A blessing from above.
And the sun comes up and the sun goes down
And the stars and the moon go round and round
In witness to his love.
Hear now ye sons of men,
For danger lurks in this great garden,
The Lord will visit once again
To see what we have done.
As God is the shepherd and we are the sheep,
We our mother Earth must keep,
Maintain the air, protect the deep,
At Judgement Day He'll come.
See the Lord come down, hear Him whistle as he goes.
He bears a thunderbolt and a rose.
Remember all his pow'r.
See the Lord come down, face shining bright.
His holy feet are soiled, but his robe is white.
You will regret that hour.
So, now, my people beware.
You're in charge of the seas and the Earth and the air.
You'd better take extr'ordinary care
Of the Earth, our only home.
All glory be to God on high.
Shout praises loudly to the sky!
Listen to the Earth and hear her cry,
And in Heav'n forever roam.
