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 grateful psalm of 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 grateful psalm of praise.
3 For the joy of human love,
Brother, sister, parent, child;
Friends on earth and friends above,
Pleasures pure and undefiled;
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This our grateful psalm of praise.
4 For Thy Church that evermore
Lifts her holy hands above,
Off'ring up on ev'ry shore
Her pure sacrifice of love;
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This our grateful psalm of praise.
