O LORD GOD OF THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH
THOU THE CREATOR OF THE SUN, MOON AND STARS AND GALAXIES AROUND US,
THOU THE CREATOR OF THE VEGETATION, MOUNTAINS,
OCEANS AND RIVERS,
THOU THE CREATOR OF LIFE AND THE CREATOR OF MAN,
THOU WHO HAS GIVEN MANKIND SUCH PROFOUND KNOWLEDGE,
THOU WHO HAS CAUSED SCIENCE TO ADVANCE;
FILL THE MINDS OF PEOPLE WITH LOVE FOR THY CREATION,
WITH LOVE FOR THY MOUNTAINS, AND TREES, AND OCEANS AND RIVERS,
SO THAT MAN MAY NOT POLLUTE THESE PRECIOUS GIFTS FROM THEE,
OR DESTROY THEM OR CONSUME THEM IN WASTEFUL FIRE AND NUCLEAR DUST.
FILL THE MINDS OF MEN WITH WISDOM TO PRESERVE THIS PRECIOUS GIFT,
CHANGE THE HEARTS OF MEN SO THAT THESE TREASURES BECOME AS DEAR TO US AS OUR OWN SELVES,
SO THAT IN THEIR PRESERVATION WE SHALL SEE THE PRESERVATION OF MANKIND,
SO THAT IN THEIR EXISTENCE WE SHALL SEE THE BEAUTIFUL
PAINTING OF WHICH THOU ART THE ARTIST,
SO THAT THROUGH THIS LOVE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, GREATER PEACE AND LOVE MAY PREVAIL UPON EARTH
AMEN
NATH
