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 beauty 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, [Refrain]
3 For the joy of ear and eye,
for the heart and mind's delight,
for the mystic harmony
linking sense to sound and sight, [Refrain]
4 For the joy of human love,
brother, sister, parent, child,
friends on earth and friends above,
for all gentle thoughts and mild, [Refrain]
5 For thyself, best gift divine,
to our race so freely giv'n,
for that great, great love of thine,
peace on earth and joy in heav'n. [Refrain]
