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

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

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

For each perfect gift of Thine,
To our race so freely given,
Graces human and divine,
Flowers of the earth and buds of Heaven.

Lord of all to thee we raise...
This our hymn of grateful praise.
