For the Beauty of the Earth

For the beauty of the earth,
For the splendor of the skies,
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies,
Source of all, to thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise.

For the joy of ear and eye,
For the heart and mind's delight,
for the mystic harmony,
linking sense to sound and sight,
Source of all, to thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise.

For the wonder of each hour
Of the day and of the night,
Hill and vale, and tree and flower,
Sun and moon and stars of light,
Lord of all, to thee we raise
This our grateful hymn of praise.

For the joy of human care,
sister, brother, parent, child,
for the kinship we all share,
for all gentle thoughts and mild,
Source of all, to thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise.
