    Lyrics:
    For the beauty of the earth; for the beauty of the skies
    For the love that from our birth over and around us lies
    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
    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
