FOR THE BEAUTY OF THE EARTH

For the beauty of the earth, For the glory of the skies,
For the love which from our birth, Over and around us lies,
For the wonder of each hour, Of the day and of the night,
hill and vale, and tree and flower, Sun and moon, and stars of light,

Lord of all, to Thee we raise, This our hymn of grateful praise

For the joy of human love, brother, sister, parent, child,
friends on earth, and friends above, for all gentle thoughts and mild,
For thy church that evermore lifteth holy hands above,
offering up on every shore her pure sacrifice of love

Lord of all, to Thee we raise, This our hymn of grateful praise
Lord of all, to Thee we raise, This our hymn of grateful praise

For Thyself best gift divine to our race so freely given,
For that great great love of Thine, peace on earth and joy in heav'n

Lord of all, to Thee we raise, This our hymn of grateful praise
Lord of all, to Thee we raise, This our hymn of grateful praise
