For the Beauty of the Earth

For the beauty of the earth
For the glory of the skies
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies

[Repeat: x2]
Lord of all
To thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise

For the joy of human love
Brother,sister,parent,child
Friends on earth and friends above
For all gentle thoughts and mild

[Repeat: x2]
Lord of all
To thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise

For thy church,that evermore
Lift'eth holy hands above
Offering up on every shore
Her pure sacrifice of love

[Repeat: x4]
Lord of all
To thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise

[Repeat: x3]
For the beauty of the earth
