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 joy of human love,
brother, sister, parent, child,
friends on earth and friends above,
for all gentle thoughts and mild: [Refrain]
3 For Thyself, best Gift Divine
to the world so freely giv'n,
for that great, great love of thine,
peace on earth, and joy in heav'n: [Refrain]
Amen.
