English text
For the beauty of the earth; for 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; sun 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; for all gentle thoughts and mild,
Lord of all to thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise.
