- For the beauty of the earth,
For the glory of the skies,
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies;
Refrain
Lord of all, to thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise. - 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. Ref. - For the joy of human love,
Brother, sister, parent, child,
Friends on earth, and friends above,
For all gentle thoughts and mild. Ref. - For thy church that evermore
Lifteth holy hands above,
Offering up on every shore
Her pure sacrifice of love. Ref.
