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

Lord of all, to Thee we raise

This, our hymn of grateful praise

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

And for the joy of human love

Brother, sister, parent, child

Friends on earth and friends above

For all gentle thoughts and mild

Lord of all, to Thee we raise

This, our hymn of grateful praise

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

For Thyself, best gift divine

To our race so freely given

For that great, great love of Thine

Peace on earth and joy in heaven

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
