For the beauty of the skies
For the love which 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 flow’r
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.
