For the beauty of the earth, For the glory of the skies, For the love which from our birth Over and around us lies: Christ our God, 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 dale, and tree and flower, Sun and moon, and stars of light: Christ our God, 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: Christ our God, to Thee we raise This our hymn of grateful praise.
