The Earth and Air and Boundless Sea

J. Scott Smith

We who have been to the Ageless Wood
And seen the nature of the Three
Can do no else but proclaim them Good
The Earth, and Air, and Boundless Sea

Having known the firmness of the Earth
And set our feet on Surest Ground
And built on Solid Rock our berth
Cannot but raise the Joyful Sound

Having filled our souls with Purest Air
And smelt the Fragrance ever sweet
And lost the stench of Worry and Care
Can only with thanks each Breath meet

Having gazed o'er the Neverending Sea
And felt the Water's healing touch
And known the Peace sprung from Fountains Deep
Know 'tis good and proclaim it such

'Tis true we've been to the Ageless Wood
And seen the nature of the Three
And do no else but proclaim them Good
The Earth, and Air, and Boundless Sea
