For the Beauty of the Earth

For the beauty of the earth
For the beauty of the skies
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies

Christ our God, to Thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise

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

Christ our God, to Thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise

For Thy church that evermore
Lifteth holy hands above
Off'ring up on every shore
This pure sacrifice of love

Christ our God, to Thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise

For Thyself, blest gift divine
To our race so freely giv'n
For that great, great love of Thine
Peace on earth, and joy in heaven

Christ our God, to Thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise
