For the Beauty of the Earth

Congregational singing
Grace Community Church - Sun Valley, California
Text: Folliott S. Pierpoint | Tune: DIX

For the beauty of the earth
For the glory 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 wonder of each hour,
Of the day and of the night,
Hill and vale, and tree and flower,
Sun and moon, and stars of light.

Refrain

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

Refrain

For Your Church, that evermore
Lifteth holy hands above,
Offering up on every shore
Her pure sacrifice of love.

Refrain

For Yourself, best Gift Divine,
To our race so freely given,
For that great, great love of Thine,
Peace on earth, and joy in heaven.

May we be renewed by hymns such as this … all the nations of Man, giving voice as one, in gratitude for social sanity regained, and Armageddon once more defused … 🌄✨
