1 For the beauty of the earth,
for the splendor of the skies,
for the love which from our birth
over and around us lies:
Source of all, to thee we raise
this, our hymn of grateful praise.
2 For the joy of ear and eye,
for the heart and mind's delight,
for the mystic harmony
linking sense to sound and sight:
Source of all, to thee we raise
this, our hymn of grateful praise.
3 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:
Source of all, to thee we raise
this, our hymn of grateful praise.
4 For the joy of human care,
sister, brother, parent, child,
for the kinship we all share,
for all gentle thoughts and mild:
Source of all, to thee we raise
this, our hymn of grateful praise.
