“Our Heavenly Father, Creator of all that is nature, We humbly come to you in the midst of nature’s splendor, To thank you that as Americans we are free. To worship as we please, work as we please, and move about as we please to enjoy all that is nature: Its mountains, its hills, its valleys, its lakes, Its streams, and the living things that dwell therein; We pray unto you that someday the world may be at peace, and all men be free to enjoy nature’s abundance. We ask you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ That we be guided to protect this priceless heritage Which we, in America, are privileged to enjoy. Amen.”
