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!

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!
