For the beauty of the earth,
For the beauty of the skies,
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies:
Father, unto 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:
Father, unto thee we raise
This our joyful hymn of praise.

For the joy of ear and eye,
For the heart and brain’s delight,
For the mystic harmony
Linking sense to sound and sight:
Father, unto 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 all gentle thoughts and mild:
Father unto thee we raise
This our joyful hymn of praise.

For each perfect gift of thine
To our race so freely giv’n,
Graces human and divine,
Flow’rs of earth and buds of heav’n:
Father unto thee we raise
This our joyful hymn of praise.
