Dolce sentire come nel mio cuore
Ora umilmente sta nascendo amore
Dolce è capire che non sono sola
Ma che son parte di una immensa vita
Che generosa risplende intorno a me
Dono di Lui, del Suo immenso amore

Ci ha dato il cielo e le chiare stelle
Fratello Sole e sorella Luna
La madre Terra con frutti, prati e fiori
Il fuoco, il vento, l'aria e l'acqua pura
Fonte di vita per le Sue creature
Dono di Lui, del Suo immenso amore
Dono di Lui, del Suo immenso amore
