For The Beauty Of The Earth : Lyrics
1. 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.
2 For the wonder of each hour
of the day and of the night;
hill and vale, and tree and flow’r,
sun and moon, and stars of light:
Lord of all, to thee we raise
this our hymn of grateful praise.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. For thyself, best gift divine,
to our world so freely giv’n;
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.
