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 hymn of grateful 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 hymn of grateful praise…

for the beauty of each one, every hand and every face,
every color, every grace, everywhere that we call home,
for God’s world that we all share, and the holiness around
every motion, every sound, all the goodness in our care…
the wonder in our care…
the beauty in our care…

and 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…

for the beauty of each one, every hand and every face,
every color, every grace, everywhere that we call home,
for the love which from our birth over and around us lies,
for the beauty of the skies, for the beauty of the earth…
the beauty of the earth…
