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 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;
3. For the joy of human love, brother, sister, parent, child,
Friends on earth and friends above, for all gentle thoughts and mild;
4. For Thy church, that evermore lifteth holy hands above,
Offering up on every shore her pure sacrifice of love;
5. For Thyself, best Gift Divine, to the world so freely given,
For that great, great love of Thine, peace on earth and joy in heaven.
