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 flow'r,
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 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.
