The Celebration Hymnal ‎#182

182. For the Beauty of the Earth (Family Worship Setting)

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: [Refrain]

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