[Verse 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
Over and around us lies

[Chorus]
Lord of all, to thee we raise
This our joyful hymn of praise

[Verse 2]
For the beauty of the hour
Of the day and of the night
Hill and vale and tree and flower
Sun and moon and stars of light
Sun and moon and stars of light

[Chorus]
Lord of all, to thee we raise
This our joyful hymn of praise

[Verse 3]
For the joy of human love
Brother, sister, parent, child
Friends on earth and friends above
For all gentle thoughts and mild
For all gentle thoughts and mild
[Chorus]
Lord of all, to thee we raise
This our joyful hymn of praise

[Verse 4]
For each perfect gift of thine
To our race so freely given
Graces human and divine
Flow'rs of earth and buds of heav'n
Flow'rs of earth and buds of heav'n

[Chorus]
Lord of all, to thee we raise
This our joyful hymn, our joyful hymn of praise
This our joyful hymn of praise
