O God Beautiful; O God Beautiful; At Thy feet, oh, I do bow.
In the forest Thou art green;
In the mountain Thou art high;
In the river Thou art restless;
In the ocean Thou art grave.
O God Beautiful; O God Beautiful! At Thy feet, oh, I do bow!
To the serviceful Thou art service;
To the lover Thou art love;
To the sorrowful Thou art sympathy;
To the yogi Thou art bliss.
~ The original chant was written by the 15th century Sikh Guru Nanak. The melody and English translation are from Yogananda. From Ananda’s site: https://www.ananda.org/free-inspiration/books/whispers-from-eternity/o-god-beautiful/
As we dive into the chant ‘Oh God Beautiful’ you will feel the transporting power of beauty as a quality of the Divine.
