GospelSongLyrics.org: For The Beauty Of The Earth lyrics

For the beauty of the earth
For the glory of the skies
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies.

Refrain:
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.

Refrain:
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.

Refrain:
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.

Refrain:
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise.

For Thy Church, that evermore
Lifteth holy hands above
Offering up on every shore
Her pure sacrifice of love.

Refrain:
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise.

For the martyrs' crown of light
For Thy prophets' eagle eye
For Thy bold confessors' might
For the lips of infancy.

Refrain:
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise.

For Thy virgins' robes of snow
For Thy maiden mother mild
For Thyself, with hearts aglow
Jesu, Victim undefiled.

Refrain:
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise.

For each perfect gift of Thine
To our race so freely given
Graces human and divine
Flowers of earth and buds of Heaven.

Refrain:
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise.
