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

2.For the beauty of each hour,
Of the day and of the night,
Hill and vale, and tree and flow'r,
Sun and moon, and stars of light.

3.For the joy of ear and eye,
For the heart and mind's delight,
For the mystic harmony
Linking sense to sound and sight.

4.For the joy of human love,
Brother, sister, parent, child,
Friends on earth and friends above,
For all gentle thoughts and mild.

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

RefrainLord of all, to Thee we raise,
This our hymn of grateful praise.

Same meter but needs editorial underlay: GLORIA, HUMILITY, JESUS LOVES ME.
