For the Beauty of the Earth

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

For the beauty of the hour
Of the day and of the night
Hill and vale
And tree and flower
Sun and moon and stars of light
Sun and moon and stars of light

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

For each perfect gift of thine
To our race so freely given
Graces human and divine
Flow'rs of earth and buds of heav'n
Flow'rs of earth and buds of heav'n

Lord of all to thee we raise
This our joyful hymn
Our joyful hymn of praise
This our joyful hymn of praise
