God Bless You Precious World

Composer’s original recording:

Arrangement by Jon Burr for piano and tenor voice (as shown above):

Did I have a dream
I sailed the sea
On waters pure
And crystal clean
And full of life
In waves beneath
God bless you precious world

Did I have a dream
I walked a trail
In forest wild
With jungle green
And not in flames
And smoke to breathe
God bless you precious world

Free from all the blindness
Free from all unkindness
We the people bring to you
You our only homeland
You will be our last stand
We owe everything to you

Keeper of our children
Keeper of their children
What is it that they will see
Will they recognize you
As we recognize you
Or look around in disbelief

Did I have a dream
We will someday
All wake up wake up
Change our ways
And see you for the gift you are
God bless you
– our earth
– our precious world
