GOD OF THE OPEN, by                    
First Line: Through the broad gray sweep of ocean
Last Line: Flag of faith, one god, one lord.
Subject(s): God; Nature


Through the broad gray sweep of ocean,
Over prairies, wind-swept plains,
Through the mountain mists and snowstorms;
God of avalanche and rains.

Through the fields now white for harvest,
Laden boughs, the orchards yield,
Orange groves and vineyards bearing;
God of nature, sky and field.

Through the land-locked lakes a pathway,
Mountain stream, Niagara's fall --
Through the pine, the spruce and hemlock;
God of our far country's call.

Through the cities westward rising,
North and south, by man adored --
Through the reach of our possessions;
Flag of faith, one God, one Lord.
