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 grateful song of praise.
2
For
the joy of human love,
Brother,
sister, parent, child,
Friends
on earth and friends above,
Pleasures
pure and undefiled,
Lord
of all, to Thee we raise
This
our grateful song of praise.
3
For
the gift of Thy dear Son,
For
the hope of heaven at last,
For
the Spirit's victory won,
For
the crown when life is past,
Lord
of all, to Thee we raise
Songs
of gratitude and praise.
