I love the Choir. I am a Ward Organist for 53 years (off and on depending on my callings). I am now 53 years old.

This is my favorite tune to this hymn - like in "Little Women". There is another version in which the song is sung in a different melody but this is by far the best imo!

[Grouchbox]

I love this so much! One of my favorite hymns!

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

[Chorus]
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 flow’r,
Sun and moon, and stars of light,

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