Reformed Press Hymnal ‎#75

75. For The Beauty Of The Earth

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 flow'r,
Sun and moon, and stars of light, [Refrain]

3 For the joy of human love,
Brother, sister, parent, child;
Friends on earth, and friends above,
For all gentle tho'ts and mild, [Refrain]

4 For Thy church, that evermore
Lifteth holy hands above,
Off'ring up on ev'ry shore
Her pure sacrifice of love, [Refrain]
