Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Our Hymn of Grateful Praise
In Rise Up Singing: For the Beauty of the Earth.
odd, I can't seem to find it in the digitrad or forum search.

For the Beauty of the Earth
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 wonder of each hour
Of the day and of the night
Hill and vale and tree and flower
Sun and moon and stars of light

For the joy of human love
Brother, sister, parent, child
Friends on earth and friends above
For all gentle thoughts and mild

For each perfect gift of thine
To our race so freely given
For thy constant love divine
Peace on earth and joy in heaven.

w: F.S. Pierpont, 1864. m: Conrad Kocher, 1838
