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 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;
Lord 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;
Lord of all, 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;
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This, our hymn of grateful praise
