For The Beauty Of The Earth

1. For the beau- ty of the earth For the glo- ry of the skies, For the love which from our birth O- ver and a- round us lies. Lord of all, to Thee we raise, This our hymn of grate- ful praise.

2. For the beau- ty of each hour, Of the day and of the night, Hill and vale, and tree and flow'r, Sun and moon, and stars of light.

3. For the joy of ear and eye, For the heart and mind's de- light, For the mys- tic har- mo- ny Link- ing sense to sound and sight.

4. For the joy of hu- man love, Bro- ther, sis- ter, pa- rent, child, Friends on earth and friends a- bove, For all gen- tle thoughts and mild.

5. For Thy Church, that ev- er- more Lift- eth ho- ly hands a- bove, Off'r- ing up on ev- ery shore Her pure sac- ri- fice of love.
