1. Contemplate all nature’s beauty
And embrace its darker side;
Life as sacrifice is ordered;
Sometimes life will be denied;
Celebrate with adoration
New growth after seeds have died.
2. Nature’s children need protection
As they struggle to survive;
And when grown, threat always hovers;
Yet they linger, even thrive;
Celebrate with adoration
Life with its unending drive.
3. Life, in tension, sings a chorus
Of a constant melody;
Life and death are ever present —
Nature’s own harsh harmony;
Celebrate with adoration
Life’s victorious energy.
4. Death will never have dominion
Even though it has its place;
Life breeds life; is never conquered;
Life will always win the race;
Celebrate with adoration;
Glory in this gift of grace.
Tune: Regent Square (Angels from the Realms of Glory)
