For the Beauty of the Earth Lyrics

For the beauty of the earth

For the beauty of the stars
For the love which from our birth

Over and around us lies

Over and around us lies

Lord of all to Thee we raise

This our joyful hymn of grace

For the beauty of each hour

Of the day and of the night

Hill and vale and tree and flower

Hill and vale and tree and flower

Sun and moon and stars of light

Sun and moon and stars of light

Lord of all to Thee we raise

This our joyful hymn of grace
For the joy of human love

For the joy of human love
Brother, sister, parent, child

Brother, sister, parent, child
Friends on earth and friends above

Friends on earth and friends above
For all gentle thoughts and mild

For all gentle thoughts
For all gentle thoughts and mild

And mild
Lord of all to Thee we raise

This our joyful hymn of grace
This our joyful hymn

For each perfect gift of Thine

To our race so freely given

Graces human and divine

Human and divine
Flowers of earth and buds of Heaven

Flowers of earth and buds of Heaven

Lord of all to Thee we raise

This our joyful hymn of grace

This our joyful hymn

This our joyful hymn of grace

Our hymn of joy
