A Little Giving of Thanks November Third

FOR THE BEAUTY OF THE EARTH

by John Rutter

For the beauty of the earth; 

For the beauty of the skies,

For the love which from our birth

over and around us lies:

Lord of all, to 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: 

Lord of all, to thee we raise this our joyful hymn of praise.
