about

A song of thanks to God for all the good we enjoy as his people here on earth and for the promise of good in eternity. This song is arranged with a little South American flair and features charango and zampoña (panpipe).

lyrics

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.

For the Church, that evermore
Lifteth holy hands above,
Offering up on every shore
Her pure sacrifice of love,
Lord of all, to thee we raise,
This our hymn of grateful praise.

For thyself best gift divine,
To our race so freely given,
For that great, great love of thine,
Peace on earth and joy in Heaven.
Lord of all, to thee we raise,
This our hymn of grateful praise.

Folliot S. Pierpoint
