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 hymn of grateful 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

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

For thyself, best Gift Divine
To the world so freely given
For that great, great love of thine
Peace on earth, and joy in heaven
