For the beauty of the earth
For the beauty of the skies

For the beauty of each hour
of the day and of the night

sun and moon and stars of light
sun and moon and stars of light
lord of all, to thee we raise
this our joyful hymn of praise
for the joy of human love
brother, sister, parent, child
friends on earth and friends above
for both gentle thoughts and mild
lord of all, to thee we raise
this our joyful hymn of praise
for each perfect gift of life
to a race so freely given
praise that you show
flesh and moving parts of man
lord of all, to thee we raise
this our joyful hymn (our joyful hymn) of praise
this our joyful hymn of praise
