1. For the beauty of the earth,

For the glory of the skies,

For the love which from our birth

Over and around us lies,

 

Lord of all, to thee we raise

This our hymn of grateful

praise. Amen.

 

2. For the beauty of each our

Of the day and of the night,

Hill and vale, and tree and flower,

Sun and moon, and stars of light;

 

3. For the joy of human love,

Brother, sister, parent, child,

Frineds on earth, and friends above,

For all gentle thoughts and mild;

 

4. For they Church that ever more

Lifteth holy hands above,

Offering up on every shore

Her pur sacrifice of love;

 

5. For The Church that evermore

Lifteth holy hands above,

Offering up on every shore

Its pure sacrifice of love;
