For the Beauty of the Earth

 

This hymn is a celebration of God’s creation and the beauty of nature, and it has become a popular choice for services that focus on gratitude and thanksgiving.

Hymn written by Folliott S. Pierpoint, an English poet and hymnist; published in 1864 and sung to the tune “Dix”, which was composed by Conrad Kocher in 1838.

For the beauty of the earth, For the beauty 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 joyful hymn of 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,

(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 thy church that evermore Lifteth holy hands above, Offering up on every shore Her pure sacrifice of love,

(Refrain)

For thyself, best Gift Divine, To the world so freely given, For that great, great love of thine, Peace on earth, and joy in heaven.  (Refrain)
