Tune: | DIX |
Composer: | Conrad Kocher |
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:
Christ our God, 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 thoughts 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]
