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 you we raise this our hymn of grateful praise

For the beauty of each hour, of the day and of the night
For the sun that shines in power, moon and stars with silver light
Lord of all to you we raise this our hymn of grateful praise

For the joy that spans the years, grace that sees us through our time
For fellow travelers far and near, those whose love brings us to life
Lord of all to you we raise this our song of grateful praise

For the joy of humankind within whom your Spirit moves
For your great love that unites all in peace that comes from you
Lord of all to you we raise this our hymn of grateful praise
Lord of all to you we raise this our hymn of grateful praise
