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.

​

Lord of all, to you we raise,

This our sacrifice of praise.

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.

This our sacrifice of praise.

For yourself, O Gift Divine!

To our world so freely giv'n;

For that love, from which will shine,

Peace on earth and joy in heav'n.
