Our first featured hymn, For the Beauty of the Earth, was meant not only as a song of thanksgiving, but as the only thing we could give Christ in return for his mercy and love: a hymn of praise laid upon the altar as a sacrifice. The only one of Folliott Pierpoint’s hymns still sung today, he was inspired to write it while amid scenery beloved by many – the green rolling hills of England, and the banks of the winding River Avon.
