Music by Conrad Kocher, Lyrics by Folliott S. Pierpoint, Arranged by Sally DeFord
This is a very simple arrangement which may be learned in one or two rehearsals. The SATB accompaniment includes optional flute.
For the beauty of the earth;
Ffor the beauty of the skies
For the love that 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;
Ssun 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;
Ffor all gentle thoughts and mild
Lord of all to thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise
