Children's Hymnal 66. For the beauty of the earth

Children's Hymnal‎#66

1 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.

2 For the joy of human love,
Brother, sister, parent, child,
Friends on earth, and friends above,
For all gentle thoughts and mild, [Refrain]

3 For thy church that evermore
Lifteth holy hands above,
Offering up on every shore
Her pure sacrifice of love, [Refrain]

4 For thyself, best Gift Divine
To our race so freely given!
For the great, great love of thine,
Peace on earth and joy in heaven, [Refrain]

Amen.
