Lyrics

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:
Lord of all, to thee we raise
This our joyful hymn of praise
For the beauty of each hour
Of the day and of the night,
Hill and vale A/T: and tree and flower
S/A: Sun and moon and stars of light:
T/B: Sun and moon and stars of light:
All: Lord of all, to thee we raise
This S/T: our joyful hymn
A/B: our hymn
All: Of praise
T/B: For the joy of human love
S/A: For the joy of love
All: Brother, sister, parent, child,
Friends on earth
and friends above
For all gentle thoughts and mild,
For all gentle thoughts and mild:
Lord of all, to thee we raise
T/B: This our joyful hymn
S/A: Our joyful hymn
All: of praise
For each perfect gift of thine
Unto us 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:
Lord of all, to thee we raise
This our joyful hymn of praise,
This our joyful hymn of praise.
Written by: Conrad Kocher, Folliott S. Pierpoint, John Rutter
