Of The Earth

For the beauty of the earth,

for the beauty of the skies,

for the love which from our birth

over and around us lies:

Christ our God, to Thee we raise,

this our sacrifice of praise.

For the beauty of each hour,

of the day and of the night,

hill and value and tree and flower,

sun and moon and stars of light:

Christ our God, to Thee we raise

this our sacrifice of praise.

-Folliott Sandford Pierpoint
