Thanksgiving

 

 

For the beauty of the earth,

For the glory of the skies,

For the love which from our birth, Over and around us lies, Over and around us lies
Lord of all to thee we raise, This our joyful hymn of praise


For the beauty of the hour, of the day and of the night
Hill and vale,

And tree and flower
Sun and moon and stars of light





( Me and Jacqueline, ages 2& 6)

For the joy of human love
Brother, sister, parent, child
Friends on earth
And friends above
For a gentle thoughts and mild, For a gentle thoughts and mild
Lord of all to thee we raise, This our joyful hymn of praise

For each perfect gift of thine
To our race so freely given
Graces human and divine
Flow'rs of earth and buds of heav'n
Flow'rs of earth and buds of heav'n


Lord of all to thee we raise
This our joyful hymn, our joy ful hymn of praise
This our joyful hymn of praise

 For the Beauty of the Earth- Words by John Rutter
