For The Beauty Of The Earth

Verse 1
For the beauty of the earth,
For the glory of the skies
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies;

Verse 2
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;

Verse 3
For the joy of ear and eye,
For the heart and mind's delight,
For the mystic harmony,
Linking sense to sound and sight;

Verse 4
For the joy of human love,
Brother, sister, parent, child,
Friends on earth and friends above,
For all gentle thoughts and mild;

Verse 5
For thy church, that evermore
Lifteth holy hands above,
Offering up on every shore
Her pure sacrifice of love; 

Verse 6
For thyself, best gift divine,
To the world so freely given,
For that great, great love of thine,
Peace on earth, and joy in heaven:

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