OUR HYMN OF GRATEFUL PRAISE


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 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.
