For The Beauty Of The Earth Religious Music / Hymns

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

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 grateful hymn of praise

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

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
This our grateful hymn of praise
