For the glory of the skies,
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies:
Refrain:
Lord of all, to you we raise
This our hymn of praise,
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 ear and eye,
For the heart and mind's delight,
For the mystic harmony
Linking sense to sound and sight: [Refrain]
4 For the joy of human love,
Brother, sister, parent, child,
Friends on earth, and friends above;
For all gentle thoughts and mild: [Refrain]
5 For your church, that evermore
Raises holy hands above,
Off'ring up on ev'ry shore
Her pure sacrifice of love: [Refrain]
