For the Beauty of the Earth

For the beauty of the earth,
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 sacrifice of praise.

For the beauty of each hour,
Of the day and of the night,
Hill and vale, and tree and flower,
Sun and moon and stars of light:
Lord of all, to thee we raise
This our sacrifice of praise.

For the joy of ear and eye,
For the heart and brain's delight,
For the mystic harmony
Linking sense to sound and sight:
Lord of all, to thee we raise
This our sacrifice of 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 sacrifice of praise.

For each perfect gift of thine,
To our race so freely given,
Graces human and divine,
Flowers of earth and buds of heaven:
Lord of all, to thee we raise
This our sacrifice of praise.

For thy Church that evermore
Lifteth holy hands above,
Offering up on every shore
This pure sacrifice of love:
Lord of all, to thee we raise
This our sacrifice of praise.

I think this version of the beautiful Hymn is reminiscent of our School Days although not exactly word perfect is the one I choose to play in my Church. Thank you Choir.
