For the Beauty of the Earth
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: Refrain: Lord of all, to Thee we raise This our hymn of grateful praise. 2 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: [Refrain] 3 For the joy of human love, Brother, sister, parent, child, Friends on earth and friends above; For all gentle thoughts and mild: [Refrain] 4 For Thy Church that evermore Lifteth holy hands above, Offering up on every shore Her pure sacrifice of love: [Refrain] 5 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: [Refrain]
