For The Beauty Of The Earth : Lyrics
For the beauty of the earth,
For the beauty of the skies,
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies,
Lord of all, to thee we raise
This our grateful hymn of praise.
For the beauty 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 grateful hymn of praise.
For the joy of human love,
Brother, sister, parent, child,
Friends on earth, and friends above,
Pleasures pure and undefiled,
Lord of all, to thee we raise
This our grateful hymn of praise.
For each perfect gift of thine,
To our race so freely given,
Graces human and divine,
Flowers of earth and buds of heaven,
Lord of all, to thee we raise

Thank you for all you do. I have used your service in the past, and am now in a position where I may again. I tried to send a small donation of £5 for downloading two hymns, but I can’t get the pay-by-credit-card thing to work – at least I don’t think so. If you have received a payment, please let me know; if not, perhaps you could check you system.
Dear Andrew
Very many thanks for trying to make a donation, your efforts are really appreciated. Unfortunately I have no control over the ways of PayPal and its mysterious ways.
Joy and blessings
Richard
