Servants in His Garden

The world of His creation
we are the servants in His garden
to care for the land
as he has commanded
to rest and to remember
God created it all
put into our hands
to nurture and to care
over the world he created
for us to use and to cherish
to preserve and to watch over
each generation in its turn
