Hymn Text
1 For the beauty of the earth, For the beauty of the skies,
For the love which from our birth Over and around us lies:
Refrain
Christ, our Lord, to you we raise This our sacrifice of praise.
2 For the wonder 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:
(refrain)
3 For the joy of ear and eye, For the heart and mind's delight,
For the mystic harmony Linking sense to sound and sight:
(refrain)
4 For the joy of human love,Brother, sister, parent, child,
Friends on earth and friends above; For all gentle thoughts and mild:
(refrain)
5 For yourself, best gift divine To the world so freely giv'n;
Agent of God's grand design, Peace on earth and joy in heav'n:
refrain)
