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:
Chorus:
Lord of all to you we raise
this our hymn of grateful praise,
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: [Chorus]
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: [Chorus]
4 For the joy of human love,
Brother, sister, parent, child,
friends on earth, and friends above;
for all gentle thoughts and mild: [Chorus]
