These things are lovely and God made them so.
These little white rose wet with dew
These graceful sway of grass
Folk dancing on the sea
The green of narra leaves
The blue sky on the sea
The lazy waterfalls and rainbows in the sun
The Master's canvas in the west when day is done
My humble nipa hut beneath the swaying palm
Listening to the breeze lilting pagan songs
The moon beams on the bay
Each little bird that sings on the lane
The color summer brings
These things are lovey and God made them so,
And placed them in my country row in row
I'm glad I'm too poor to leave my shores,
And miss the loveliness outside my cottage door.
