about

A nod to our Christmas show, this one of my favorite hymns. We sang it at my littlest Sister's wedding. In particular, I wanted to feature our drummer by adding a march feel.

lyrics

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
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

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
