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;
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 flow'r,
Sun and moon, and stars of light;
Lord
of all, to Thee we raise
This, our hymn of grateful praise.
3) 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.
