For The Beauty Of The Earth

 Happy Easter to all of you!

This is one of my favorite  hymns.

For the beauty of the earth,
For the glory of the skies,
For the love 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 vale, 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.











 


For Thy church that evermore
Lifteth holy hands above,
Offering up on every shore
Her pure sacrifice of love;










 




Christ, our God, to Thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise.

 Amen.

Folliot S. Pierpont, 1835-1917

See y'all!
