The Hymnal for Boys and Girls ‎#1

1. For the Beauty of the Earth

1 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 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,-
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise.

Amen.
