O Lord, how good...

O Lord, how good it is for us to be Thy guests! How fine
it is for us in Thy world. The fields are fragrant, the mountains
rise high up into the sky, and the golden rays of sun
and the light clouds are reflected in the water. All nature
mysteriously speaks about Thee, all is filled with Thy
mercy and all carries the seal of Thy love. Blessed be the
earth which, with her short-lasting beauty, awakens the
yearning for the eternal homeland in Thy kingdom, where
in everlasting beauty resounds the song: Alleluia!
