for the beauty of the skies,
for the love which from our birth
over and around us lies:
Refrain:
Christ our God, to you we raise
this our sacrifice of praise.
2 For the beauty 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 secret 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,
pleasures pure and undefiled: [Refrain]
5 For each perfect gift divine,
to our race so freely given,
joys bestowed by love's design,
flowers of earth and fruits of heaven: [Refrain]
