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 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 hymn of grateful praise.
-
For the joy of ear and eye,
For the heart and mind’s delight,
For the mystic harmony
Linking sense to sound and sight.
-
Lord of all, to Thee we raise,
This our hymn of grateful praise.
~ “For the Beauty of the Earth”, Folliot S. Pierpoint
