For the Beauty of the Earth

For the beauty of the earth,
For the glory of the skies,
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies:

Refrain
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise.

For new mercies ev'ry morn,
For each day with kindness crowned,
Setting sun with grace adorned,
Faithful are shown all around. (Refrain)

For each good and perfect gift
From Thy hand so freely giv'n:
Pleasures here our eyes to lift;
Joys unmatched in endless heav'n. (Refrain)

Though the harvest yield no food,
Though no fruit be on the vine,
Still our Father's hand is good:
I am His and He is mine! (Refrain)

For the gift of Jesus fair,
For His cross our boast alone;
For our pardon purchased there,
Blest in Christ before the throne! (Refrain)

For the promised Comforter:
Holy Spirit ever near,
For Thy Church and Living Word,
For our hope 'til Christ appears. (Refrain)

For Thyself, best gift Divine:
Deepest bliss our souls could know,
Sun from whom all radiance shines;
Fount from whom all blessings flow. (Refrain 2x)
